Go Set a Watchman
I like it and I don't care what anybody else thinks. The book works for me as a window into the thinking of Southerners in the 50's as it became clear that racial integration was on the way. The histronic fear that this caused is laughable now. I can see where Lee's editor suggested another book based on her childhood experiences when I read her flashback account of her and her friends playing "Revival." It's very funny. The book tails off at the end. Lastly, I am not concerned that Atticus is a racist. This is more realistic than Mockingbird. Comparing the two Atticuses is a waste of time.
