Am an avid Grisham fan, so what has gone wrong?
Has he started writing rubbish to make more money, like another author who rolls out reams of rubbish co authored by someone obviously doing the writing.
Put these two books in the child section, though even Enid Blyton could have produced more tension?
They are terrible, a total waste of money and time.
Mr Grisham you have lost the plot, or the ideas for one.
Very sad.

This is a poor book. It purports to compete with the best of children's books but it is dull, weak and awful. Whilst JK Rowling will get kids reading, this will put them off books. Gave up before completing the book and don't actually care about the outcome - no suspense, character development or thrill (as in thriller). My daughter hated it more than I.

Whoever wrote the blurb for this book should be arrested under the Trade Descriptions Act. The blurb is much more exciting than the whole book. Waste of reading time. If a teenager had written this for their English lesson, then it's excellent.... but this is John Grisham!

So very poor
I had no idea this was a child's book when I bought cheaply in the supermarket. To suggest I was disappointed would be the understatement of the year. Read more

Bought in error
I stupidly failed to realise that this book is for "younger readers" - and it took about thirty pages before I realised why my attention kept wandering. Read more

John Grisham
If you have read and enjoyed the first Theodore Boone then you will enjoy this second one.Another good read by John Grisham

Easy reading but not at Grisham classic
Easy to read second Theodore Boone novel.
Quite entertaining and a good pace but not much depth to the plot.
I probably won't read the next book in this series.

terribly dull - is this really Grisham?
Got half way through before I realised (a) it's a short book, and a real rip-off, and (b) it's terribly, terribly dull. Read more

Not what I was expecting
Be careful if you buy this one . This is a book intended for teenagers . It does not have much of plot and it is definitely not very exciting . Read more

A book for kids
I, like others on here, bought this book without knowing it was for kids/young adults. Nowhere on the book cover or inside does it say it is aimed at that market and boy, does it... Read more
