A Learning Point

A few years ago, I read the first three books in the Theodore Boone Series. I am not sure why I failed to continue reading the series; but here I am reading book number seven in the series. Grisham wrote the series for young people. I was impressed that he did not write down to the kids but instead make them reach up.

Theodore is now a fifteen-year-old eighth grader who is interested in the law. His friends seek out his opinions and his help. There is always a moral issue to the story. I think this would be a great book to read with young people as it has terrific discussion points and also teaching points. The audiobook would be excellent on a summer road trip. The book discusses how a bad decision could have serous life changing results.

The book is four hours and thirty-eight minutes. Richard Thomas does an excellent job narrating the book. Thomas is an American actor. He has won an Emmy Award and two Golden Globe Awards. As a book narrator he has won the Earphone Award.

not true Grisham

bad narration kinda dumb, not the great Grisham that I am use to hearing, dissatisfied

Are you serious?

This was the worst book I ever listened too! John Grisham has lost his mind...wow!

The story was ridiculous, there was not a moment of suspense and if I could get a refund and a check for listening to this mess I would take it in a heart beat...11 hours of my life I will never get back!

GREAT BOOK!

This was exciting, with twists and turns right up to the end. I really enjoyed it.

Great entertaining way to learn!

I love the Theodore Boone series and the issues Grisham brings to light for kids... and adults! I’ve listened since book one came out and used it as part of our homeschool curriculum with my youngest. Since she is all grown up now and on her way to becoming a middle school teacher , we listened to this one separately:) Grateful for children’s books that entertain while provoking thinking and discussion. I appreciate the positive influence portrayed by school teachers and other role models in this series - Mother of 7 and Grandma of 9

Loved it!

Loved the character. Great story and depiction of a driven, intelligent well raised young man. Loved the moral integrity

Perfect

He is such a good narrator his voice changes to the tone of each character and he is the best narrator I’ve ever heard

Love it!!!

I recommend all 7 books!!
Hoping the series continues!!
Does anyone know if there is more?

Should be required reading in grammar school

Great insight into what happens when you make one mistake. A reminder that fun can lead to unintended consequences. It would be nice if everyone had a friend like Theodore Boone. I hope there are more books in this series in the future. I wish I could have read these books in my youth. If I only knew what I know now in my youth! Wonderful book.

Always a fan

I’ve always been a fan of John Grisham but knew nothing about Theo. Lots of enjoyment here; something you would like for your own family.
