I'm scared of the sequel.

I loved Catch 22 when I was a kid - it was my favourite book, and I re-read it every couple of years or so. Then, as a young adult I picked up Closing Time (another sequel that took decades to write). Not only did I not enjoy it at all, but it somehow managed to put me off Catch 22. I've not been able to read it since.

I'm hoping that won't be the case with Harper Lee's new novel. There's no reason for it to be the case. But I'm still scared...
