Thoughts on "Theodore Boone"

I am halfway through reading Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer. With simple, clear prose, John Grisham has pieced together a coherent, multifaceted story about a thirteen-year-old boy on the periphery of a sensational murder trial. As the story progresses, the thirteen-year-old, Theodore Boone naturally, is drawn into the case and finds himself in position to affect the verdict.

This story is a really good read. I imagine it may challenge the intended younger demographic. For the average adult, the story seems like a light, enjoyable diversion from more intense literary works. I recommend Theodore Boone to adults even though Grisham aims for kids.
