Have you ever felt like you wee never afraid to speak your mind? That is what Jean Louise Finch(Scout) felt like throughout this book. It is full of old things that Scout has missed out on, and worse things yet to come. Go Set a watchman was written by the now deceased Harper Lee. This book shows what the south is all about: money and drama.

The setting of this book is Alabama. It is mainly the town we know and love called Maycomb. The time period is the 1950's.

I would recommend this book to a friend only to read it and seeing what it is all about. i would do this only because I didn't like it very much as I mentioned before. I did enjoy reading it, but not necessarily the way I came to read
