I heard rumors that Harper Lee didn't think the sequel was worthy to be published, but that now she's nearly senile and her family and/or agent was able to talk her into releasing it. I don't know if that's true - I certainly hope it's not - but I'm definitely nervous.

It's going to have to be an absolutely perfect book to be a worthy sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, as it is.

That sounds... A little scummy. I'd rather respect the author's wishes, especially if people decide it ISN'T worthy. Guess we'll play it by ear.
