merryspinster 's review for:

Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham
1.0

Ugh. My complaints are many, but to sum up:
1. Reading this is like watching an episode of Perry Mason or a souped-up Encyclopedia Brown mystery. It does not read like John Grisham.
2. It has been a long time since the author was 13 or knew any real 13 year-olds. Nothing about the characters ring true. It's 1950 or something.
3. For a plot-driven novel, there is surprisingly little plot and no denouement at all. I am still unsure if the sequel will have the conclusion of this case or if Theodore Boone will move on to another one. The book just stops.
