With all the chatter before the book was released, "It's a first draft," "She ruined Atticus," etc., my expectations were very low. It was much better than I expected. It's a deeper, more complex, more "adult" book than TKAM. Not as beautifully written but still undeniably Harper Lee with moments that equal or surpass TKAM.
