I'm glad I read it; it's thought-provoking and well-written. I expected more of To Kill a Mockingbird in the flashbacks to Scout's childhood--I thought there would be scenes here that had been recycled into similar expanded scenes in Mockingbird, but there's really very little overlap. So many of the key players don't even show up here, or get only brief mention.
While I still love Atticus, I'm not sure what I would have thought of him in Watchman if I hadn't already seen the towering, heroic figure of Mockingbird. I like Jean Louise here less than I liked Scout.
I'm trying not to be too spoiler-y here, so I won't say any more.
