As far as the story itself, it's kinda lame. The characters are no where near as well done as in To Kill a Mockingbird.
But it's interesting in that Scout is an adult. She went off to New York City and the book starts with her coming back by train. Every review I've found focuses on how Aticus is now "racist" he is in this book, but that's not really the case at all.
Scout turns full on leftist-libtard. She's angry at people in her town who simply listen, silently, to people she considered racist. There town has legit issues with NAACP (which was likely a CIA guided operation (the 1950s director of NAACP-West was literally a CIA spook) .. if anything the books shows the dangers of extreme liberalism and how the progress-left can't stand the freedom of speech.
People in my book club were visibly angry with me after our discussion 🤣
Sadly, that's all in the 2nd part of the book. The first part is just narrative and it's boring as shit. None of Scout's relationships or antics are nearly as interesting as the first book when she was a kid. It's sad because this could have been a great, conservative mirror image of the first book if she had edited it and got a real proper release, but it was just kinda forced out there at the end of her life and wasn't really intended to be released as it was.
