Mystery abounds!

What made the experience of listening to Theodore Boone: The Accused the most enjoyable?

The mystery ultimately gets solved and this extension of the earlier books helps carry the story forward. I wish all of Grisham's books were like that.

What other book might you compare Theodore Boone: The Accused to and why?

The series was fun reading and should be required reading for civics class in Junior High.

Have you listened to any of Richard Thomas’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I think he is a terrible reader, but a great narrator. He does not change voice inflection so that one can easily tell who is speaking.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did because it was convenient.

Any additional comments?

I love the series and wish Grisham would write a sequel to The Partner, it begs for a sequel .

Kid's Book good for adults!

Our kids loved this audio book. We listened to it basically straight through on the road to vacation one day, and they were looking for the next in the series. Animal court is such a funny sidebar to the Theo Boone books. There are a few themes in the book that may be a little too mature for 9-10 year olds, but 12-16 year olds that we have love these well-written and intricately woven stories.

Overall, a easy read and easy listening
