Lee's biographer Charles Shields describes Go Set a Watchman as - get ready - "an unedited manuscript."

In other words, merely a draft of a novel that Lee never finished working on. Shields says that Lee adapted and greatly improved some of the material for use in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Shields also told CNN that the new book "has no literary merit."

Publication now, it appears, is mainly a money-grab.
