I can't find any discussion on this apart from reviews and weird comments to those reviews, and no one I know has finished it. So trying it here.

Reply under this. Sorry, wasn't thinking.

Give me the spoilers!

I have chosen not to read it.

NAYRT - Then... why reply?

Because I felt like it.

DA

Me too. I can't do that to myself, and I'm 100% convinced at this point that Harper Lee did not want it released.

NAYRT - I'm more 50/50 because I think we can't really know, but having read it it seems to me she decided not to release it quite deliberately. I liked it but can see why she wouldn't wanted it published. She may have changed her mind, but how pressured/misled was she? OTOH I don't think anyone really knows except her lawyer, and we may all be making a false assumption.

The fact that there are passages in the new book that are word for word copies from TKAM makes me believe the criticism that the Watchman was a rough draft of To Kill a Mockingbird. And that it was never meant to be published. To Kill a Mockingbird IS the final product of Go Set a Watchman.

it's not criticism, that's fact...

I feel bad doing that, but while the jury's still out about elder abuse I worry about contributing to the book's success financially. At the same time, I study American history and reading this stuff seems pretty much a requirement.

I wish I kind of wish I had now, honestly, or even borrowed it from the library. I bought it out of curiosity all the while concerned about potential abuse.

I can't. It's such an obvious money grab by everyone BUT the author that I can't bring myself to read it. It's elder abuse. I don't care what anyone says.

All of these comments (not just here, other places) about boycotting it for those reasons are making me feel a little guilty. :/ And reading it really made it obvious it was just a first draft.

If it wasn't a money grab it could've been released online or part of it in a special edition or something.
