Scout is in her mid 20's and coming home to Alabama and as it has been said - once you let the boy see the city there is no going back to the farm. Part of her visit is filled with wonder at how nothing has changed and it also fills her with disgust as well to see that nothing has changed. Her whole life she has put father on a pedestal and he is about to topple off. His views of segregation are vastly different from what we saw in " To Kill a Mockingbird'. Her Aunt is dismayed at the way that Scout conducts herself, crazy Uncle Jack make a lot of sense and we know that Hank is not the man that Scout is meant for. Let me say this - will this book replace "To Kill a Mockingbird" in our hearts? No way. Should it be evaluated on it's own ?- Yes. Is Harper Lee's portrayal of the south and the growth of Scout once she fled to New York accurate? - Yes The real question is this - Can you read it without seeing Gregory Peck's face as Atticus Finch? - never.
