Suggested break down of reading so that you can check in and let us know how you're going. The following breakdown is purely a suggestion and is therefore not set in stone.

Rather than putting dates for each section I've done it so that it takes into account that not everybody will necessarily have the book at the same time.

Week 1: 81 pages
Week 2: 81 pages
Week 3: 81 pages
Week 4: 81 pages

[Gabriella]

Hi Claire,

When my daughter read it she didn't like it either. She found it really boring.

[Alison]

this is my all time favorite book!! i wish I knew where my copy was so I could read it with you

[James]

I completed the suggestions for how much pages to read for week one . I like the book a lot so far, but it took me a while to remember the main characters full names instead of their nicknames. .

[Jamie]

I completed chapters 1-7. I haven't read this since high school (a long time ago), so this bringing up some great memories. I love Scout's voice, particularly when she reviews "the day's crimes." :)

[Gabriella]

I read the whole book yesterday. I just couldn't put it down. It's not my favorite book ever, but it's one of my favorites right now. Scout is a little bit insane, but she's quite fun most of the time.

[James]

I'm around the halfway point of this book. I'm really curious to see what happens throughout the rest of the book since I'm enjoying the book so far.

[James]

Finished the book yesterday and I'm going to see the film adaption of the book as soon as possible.

[Jamie]

It's been so good to read this novel again. Even though it's been 20+ years since I read it for high school English, it's lost none of the magic for me.
