I don't think that Atticus is really any different in this book than he was in Mockingbird. I admit that scene with the meeting in the church felt like a punch in the stomach, but as the book went on, I think that the explanation makes sense--not that his explanation is "true", but that it's consistent for that time.
I also feel like it was definitely a book worth reading--When I finished it, I knew that I would be re-reading it, and that I would probably be re-reading it soon. For me, that only happens with a very few books. (Not that I only re-read a few books, but that there are very few that I re-read right away--Watchman will, I think, be one of them)
I'm very glad that I took the plunge and bought it
