- Latest Review: "Kendra" by Grant Kniefel
Everyone I know is excited about the sequel coming out but Ive read about Lees decline in mental faculties and her issues with her lawyer (having her sign things she clearly doesnt understand for personal gain). Her sister was her care taker and I suspect had kept this novel from being published for many reasons. I worry that the new novel will disappoint her avid fans and possibly take away her credibility (I believe these are the reasons her sister kept it from publishers). Now that her sister is gone I think she has been and is being taken advantage of. Im not sure I will read this new book.

Indeed it makes sense and I wonder about it as well.TLGabelman wrote:Yes @gali. I didnt mean to imply that I thought she wrote the 'sequel' with limited mental faculties....I am more wondering her sisters reasons for keeping it unpublished and who is looking now to gain from the works after her sisters passing. Make sense?

I read that she wrote the new book BEFORE writing Mockingbird & that the manuscript was mislaid - so how can it be a sequel?julieanne wrote:I'm really looking forward to this sequel, "Go Set a Watchman" - to see Scout as an adult and eavesdrop on the conversations between her and her father will be fascinating
Anyway, doesn't really matter I'm looking forward to it and will definitely be reading it but I am somewhat apprehensive that it might not live up to the hype and that it might disappoint her legion of fans. <fingers crossed >

I feel the same way about To Kill a Mockingbird! I dont like being forced to read books. I would like to read it as an adult and see if my perspective changes.caity_cat_23 wrote:I am looking forward to seeing scout as an adult. I didn't enjoy to kill a mockingbird the first time because I was forced to read and report on it for school. I have this mental thing where if you tell me that I have to read something then I'm probably not going to enjoy it at all where had I picked it up on my own or it just been suggested I would have really liked it. So yes I do plan to reread the original and read the sequel.

The manuscript was believed to have been lost for more than fifty years, and was only discovered last fall. The initial printing will be 2 million copies. Release date is set for July 14.
