The first reviews for Harper Lee's "Go Set a Watchman" are out. Atticus Finch, the stand-up gentleman who inspired entire generations of lawyers, turns out rather different in this sequel narrated by the now-adult Scout. The book raises a lot of questions for readers, including whether we are ready to see our heroes as anything but unvarnished good guys, and whether an adult is a better, more reliable narrator than a six-year old child. Basically, we are all Boo Radley and we may be be forced cruelly into the light by this book.
