Ronny Diaz | 13 comments Hello i'm the book critic and today's book is Theodore Boone kid lawyer just to put some thing out there i enjoy shows like Hey Arnold which is a slice of life show that adds a bit of exaggeration. I love slice of life type things that add a bit of exaggeration and that is what Theodore Boone kid lawyer which i will just call kid lawyer during this review delivers just that but just because i like that does not mean the book gets an instant read it.STORY:Theodore Boone son of Mr and Mrs Boone two amazing lawyers gets himself tangled in a murder case when a witness' cousin stops by his door and now its Theo's job to find out who the murderer is. MY THOUGHTS:the book does what it does too well and that's a bad thing why because it keeps the mystery alive bye adding the slice of life at the most in opportune moment. what was that moment? The ending so there is no resolve as to who the murderer is.the writing is amazing though, its very descriptive but it introduces a lot of useless characters.The story though is very engaging and executed very well. QUOTES: "classic Grisham"- The Los Angeles Times,"Not since Nancy drew has a nosy , crime obsessed kid been so entertaining"- New York Times, "Theodore Boone :Kid Lawyer zips along at a quick pace, and young readers will be intrigued by the showdown of the trial." - book page. RECOMMENDED READING AGE:This book uses large words that some may not comprehend and deals with the judicial system so i say read this when your 13 and older.CLIFFHANGER QUESTIONS: There is only one question it leaves you with and that is who is the killer.SEQUELS: There is a sequel Theodore Boone kid lawyer: the abduction but that one is not that good.THE VERDICT: with its flaws yet good writing and narrative Theodore Boone gets a 3/5
