"Theodore Boone"-The Kid Lawyer

I was interested to see what John Grisham would do with kids - that too with a character of lawyer for kids. First I like the concept of "legal world" setting--that's something new for kids. The other side: Though the book is intended for young adults the plot is too simple for this age group,and the way he explains what a judge is and other simple terms of court feel that it is set for an audience of much lower level than for teens.Apart from this the main character "Theo" is too perfect to be accepted -The kid has no faults at all with straight A's, helping kids at school and a shelter. On top of it Grisham spends a long time setting up the story, and the central conflict isn't really introduced till the 100th page. The story would have been so much stronger if character had some sort of weakness and thus making the choices for him be a bit interesting. I think the series has a lot of potential, and I hope that future books do a better job of getting straight to the action now that so much groundwork has been laid.My verdict... this book is okay but not great.
