Don't know where it's going to go from here!

The story SO FAR is ok, it will probably get better later on, but when? The story just rambles on about the kids, and nothing is really developing. For example, chapter 7 (I think), the whole chapter it talked about how it snowed in Maycomb, the kids got the day off, and they built a snowman that resembled Mr. Avery. It wasn't until Miss Maudie's house burned down that the chapter had some meaning. I mean the first part where it was just talking about what the kids did in the snow, it seemed kind of pointless. The chapter finally started to get interesting when the house was burning down and when Atticus mentioned to Scout and Jem that Boo Radley came over and put a blanket around them for warmth. The kids didn't even know that Boo put the blanket around them! The book so far just seems kind of boring and pointless, the story is not getting anywhere, and I'm starting to wonder when something big is going to pop up! I hope soon!

Well I know is might seem pointless, but my opinion is that you have to read about the character's lives and environment in order to really understand what might happen later in the book. :]

I am now through chapter 10 and the book has picked up a bit. Conflict is beginning around the racist issues and it is definately more interesting, just hold out for a few more chapters and I promise we will get to something good
