Although many people argue that it shouldn’t be banned, I think the explicit and immature content in this book should be banned from the children’s literature.

Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee was published in 2015, sixty years after the release of her Pulitzer Prize winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. The novel was written prior to To Kill a Mockingbird and was supposed to be published, but Lee was told to rewrite it from the perspective of the main character, Jean Louise, as a young girl by her editor. Recently the manuscript was recovered by Harper Lee’s lawyer, Tonja B. Carter. Go Set a Watchman depicts Jean Louise and her struggles of returning to her hometown, Maycomb, twenty years after the first novel. There are varying opinions about the novel ranging from despising it to praising it, and everywhere in between. I fall in the “in between” portion. In my opinion, the book was not great, but I don’t not like it for the same reason that many critics don’t like it for. I felt that the book was too drawn out and didn’t have a clear set plot, which made it confusing and hard to follow at many points. That being said, one of my favorite aspects of the book was seeing the growth and change of the characters from Mockingbird to Watchman.
