DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR "GO SET A WATCHMAN"



"Go Set a Watchman" is considered a sequel.  Was it hard for you to think of it being written before "To Kill a Mockingbird"?

Why do you think "To Kill a Mockingbird" was published first?

Did you find this an easy/enjoyable read?  Why or why not?

Did you like any of the "stories within the story" like Scout's flashbacks, her dating Henry, etc.?  What did you like?

I found this quote online, "It is a flawed novel and probably would never have seen the light of day if it didn't have the name of Harper Lee as author."  Do you agree or disagree with that?  Why or why not?

What do you think about the timing of this book's release, some 50+ years after it was written?  How much has changed in regard to the issues in this book?

There is a statement in the book that goes something like this.... "government control/expansion could lead to communism or Hitler-like control."  This was in the 1950's!  Do you hear anything about "big government" in the news these days!!??  Comments?

We're there any other quotes in the book that you would like to comment on...or anything else you'd like to discuss?
