Hello, bibliophiles.
Anybody a fan of To Kill a Mockingbird? Almost everyone who has had the luxury to read the book is. Am I right? Of course I am. So you guys must be flabbergasting-ly excited for the sequel. Aren't you?
So Harper Lee has decided to publish the sequel to her first and only classic novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Surprisingly, the book that would succeed the Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel was written ages ago and before the earliest draft of To Kill a Mockingbird. She had written Go set a watchman featuring Scout as an adult woman, her editor fascinated and tantalized by the flashbacks of Scout's childhood persuaded her to write a book based on Scout's childhood. Being a first-time write she agreed. Now after 55 years she has decided to publish the book-that-was-supposed-to-precede-To-Kill-a-Mocking-Bird as the sequel-To-Kill-A-Mockingbird. I wonder what took her so long.
I sound excited and I am. I read To Kill a Mockingbird the former month only and hence my memory of the book's fresh. However I do have a lot speculations and suspicions regarding the ascendancy of the sequel. Of course it will be good but I'm not sure if it will be as good as the first novel. It surely won't be a disappointment but would it appease the excitement and expectations of the fans? Sure it will.
I have been double-thinking. Now, I want to know what do you people have in your minds regarding the book?
