Summary of this Book...
Jean-Lousie Finch returns to her hometown of Maycomb, Alabama as a young woman. Her father, Atticus is an old man now, living with his sister Alexandra.

Time has moved on from the era of 'To Kill A Mockingbird,' but the question is, how much? Jean-Louise has been living in New York and finds the racist, somewhat-backwards views of Maycomb's residents hard to take.

Mostly, though, this is a novel about growing up and becoming your own moral conscience.
This type of Book is good for...
It's an interesting reflection of 1950s southern America.
I especially liked...
Uncle Jack! He is a wonderful character with some brilliant scenes.
I didn't like...
The characters. All those people I loved in 'To Kill A Mockingbird' are changed, and I felt uncomfortable with them.
This Book made me feel...
Disappointed. I waited a long time to read this book because I wasn't sure how I felt about it. When I did read it, I came away feeling deflated. The first half of the book, I failed to see a plot. The second half was better, but I didn't love it.
I recommend this Book because...
It is an interesting look at racism and the changing attitudes in that respect.
I don't recommend this Book because...
If you're expecting another 'Mockingbird,' you won't find it here. The characters will disappoint you. The plot will disappoint you. I actually found the writing disappointed me, too.
