"Kid Lawyer" by John Grisham is about a Theodore Boone who is fasinated with the courtroom and being a lawyer. He has the right to be, he was born to two lawyers who owned their own firm so Theodore had been around law his whole life. He thinks he already is a lawyer and he knows every judge, policeman, and court clerk in the area as well as a lot about law. Theo thinks that being a lawyer will become a major part of his life but that changes when he becomes a big part of a major murder trial and he is the only one that knows the truth. Will he prevail?
I think this book is going to be very interesting. From what the little of it I have read I can tell I'm going to like it. It's by John Grisham for one and I like reading his work. I really like the lawyer settings in most applications because it almost always leads to suspense and action in the courtroom while the secrets are unraveled, it also causes me to keep reading because of this suspense and the want to know what happens to the person being tried. I really like watching "Law and Order" and shows like that because of the little details that lead to a big breakthrough which brings the suspense. I am hoping that this book can sorta give me the same entertainment that TV shows and movies dealing with law do. Should be a great read anyway!
I think John Grisham has a lot of good books. If you get a chance read the "Summons", I think you know that most or all of his books have to do with law. I like how you stated this book caused you to keep reading because of this suspense and the want to know what happens to the person being tried. John Grisham is great author at keeping the suspense going.
