To Kill A Mockingbird - 5 stars.
Go Set A Watchman... 2 stars. Given the circumstances surrounding the publication of this book, as well as the quality of the story itself compared to To Kill a Mockingbird, I can only recommend TKaM. I know opinions will vary, but GSaW is pretty damn weak compared to TKaM.
I was only able to read GSaW because it was a Little Free Library find - if I'd paid for it I'd have been pretty damn upset.
