I love Theodore Boone! I'm aware that I am not exactly in the demographic the series is aimed at, but... Theo is an irresistible character, and all these books are quick and gripping reads. The pacing in this first one was perhaps a little slow, but, unpopular as this opinion may be, that's exactly how a court drama SHOULD be. That's how it really is to work in the law, or as a detective. It's slow and gradual - car chases, surprise witnesses and explosions are pretty much just for the movies.
Time to read the third now!
