I guess we can't blame Harper Lee and/or her publisher for putting a sure-fire money maker on the market, but this is like watching a world-class athlete return after too many years away from his sport. This book simply doesn't work on so many levels. Where Scout of TKAM is endearing, Jean Louise is annoying. It is telling that the original Finch home has been torn down and is now a commercial establishment - the parallels go on and on. I gave this book 2 stars out of respect for Harper Lee, a once great literary "athlete" reduced to this.
