ri185 's review for:
The Scandal
by John Grisham
If you haven't read this, my review will make no sense. If you want a summary, read someone else's.
Um.... WHAT HAPPENED TO THEO!!???? Since when does he refuse to do something if something wrong happened? Theo, you just can't help getting into the middle of everything, ok? It. Is. Your. Job. As a kid lawyer. You're supposed to make sure rules are followed. Not stand by, do nothing, and try to make your best friend do nothing, too! Speaking of that, what happened to April? She didn't have anything to feel that guilty about. Theo was right, if she'd sent that letter she would just be all caught up in the whole mess. Also, about April, all she's supposed to care about is art. She's not the type of person who'd care if a high school girl wanted to hang out with her, but in the book (somewhere) it says something like that's it was the best thing they ever happened to her! And why did they give the teachers criminal charges in the first place? You could've had this book a lot shorter without that pretty unrealistic obstacle. And what's with the whole side story with Pete? Actually, that part was a good story. And, the whole sorting kids into different classes doesn't make sense either. Some random test shouldn't have to decide your high school classes! Oh yeah, and Ike. Like, since when does he even care about what people think of him? In one of the other books, it said he wears socks and sandals all the time. He is not supposed to care about people's opinions. Except for Theo, but he's the one he calls to get him out of jail! Like, really? Why is everyone so different??????
Really, when are we gonna find out what Ike did?????? Even if I didn't like this book as much, I want the series to keep going just to find out. Also, it'd be pretty cool if it went on until Theo became a lawyer or a judge, or at least until he finally made up his mind about being a lawyer or a judge.
On the other hand, if you're not comparing it to other Theo Boone books, it's a perfectly good book.
P.S. No offense to anyone who may be offended by this review.
