Reviews for Theodore Boone, Book 3

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Abduction by Robin Cook is a departure from his usual genre of medical mystery thriller. It suffers from some of the problems found in some of his other books, namely one dimensional flat characters.It is however a rather imaginative and interesting journey to an undersea civilisation which is far more advanced than our own.I did feel like the ending was a bit of a fizzler.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5great book and it was mysterious and adventurous. The greatest book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the third volume in the Theodore Boone series and better than the second. I'm surprised that they didn't number the covers as they are meant to be read in order to understand the overarching Pete Duffy story line.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the third in the Theodore Boone, Kid Lawyer,series. In this one, except for a brief appearance in Animal Court on behalf of Lucy the Llama, Theo doesn't get to "practice" much law. He himself is accused of stealing electronics from a local store, although naturally we all know it's a frame. I was pretty uncomfortable with many elements of this story; the detectives investigating were real jerks, Theo was much too slow to involve adults when he knew there was a serious problem developing, and there's an awkward, totally unsatisfactory to me, treatment of the issue of honesty and ethics. I would not recommend this one to young readers, and I think Grisham could have done a lot better. I like Theo. But even though he's a 13 year old boy, who naturally isn't going to trust the grown-ups right off the bat, I had a hard time buying some of his behavior here. The first two books were better, and I am probably through with Theo now.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the third installment in the 'Theodore Boone' series. It begins with a reference to a murder case and trial that is a carryover from Book 1 -- 'Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer'. It addresses the issue of presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. In parallel to this, young Theodore is accused of a crime which he insists he did not commit, but all the clues point to him. For the younger audience, for whom this series is targeted, it is a very good introduction and lesson to government and law, told in a form of a story. As always, for young or adult readers, Grisham delivers yet another legal thriller.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm enjoying John Grisham's Theodore Boone series pretty well thus far, a kid's lit storyline about a 13-year old son of two lawyers who aspires to become one himself. In this one, Theo has the worst week of his life when somebody slashes his bike tire (3 times), breaks into his locker, sends a rock through his window, and frames him for a computer store burglary. There is a sort of continuity with the previous two books, which is good because the books seem to end abruptly, with resolutions not quite finished satisfactorily. That said, this is a fun quick read for kid and grownup alike.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wish to read the rest of the series. One of the very few books so far where you feel the natural flow of words. The book was very realistic and absorbing. Couldn't lift my eyes off. 5 out of 5 without the slightest hesitation.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5While this book is definitely much more interesting than the last one and Theo was less annoying, there were a few things that bothered me, which is why I didn't give the book three stars.
The plot is ok and the mystery is much better than the one in book two. Also, Theo's behaviour is much more appropriate for his age and his investigation is much more believable. It also has the advantage that the crime in this book is smaller compared to The Abduction. I found it quite funny to see how he's all "innocent until proven guilty" at the beginning of the book and then, when he's the one in trouble being accused of a crime that he didn't commit, he's very sure of who is guilty, before he has any proof.
What bothered me was how Theo and his family make the list of suspects. First of all, Theo's parents lack a lot of imagination if they can't imagine a girl throwing a stone at a window or stabbing bike tires. Not all girls are innocent angels. Sure, the culprit turns out to be a boy, but other than a comment from Theo, where he says that there are a few girls in his school who would be capable of that, nobody even entertains the possibility of the guilty person being a girl.
Then there's Theo and his profiling of his boy scouts mates. I can see why he takes his friends and people who have always been nice to everybody off the suspect list, but he makes a huge mistake that is never addressed. He assumes that a boy is innocent, just because his parents are a doctor and a dentist, and thinks that another boy is a suspect, just because he is quiet, has a bad family background, has long hair and listens to heavy metal. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fascinating and engaging sci-fi. Using some humor and imagination, Robin Cook has creating a fun read. Well thought out.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Okay, first I must admit that I wasn’t paying attention to what I was checking out at the library. I listened to this book, checked out from the online library. I looked at the title and the cover and thought “okay, that looks different.” I’d never read Cook before, so I checked it out and added it to the TBR. Then, I started it…..I DO NOT do aliens. And while the Interterrans aren't necessarily aliens, they are not exactly human. So, to say that I actually finished this book says something. After getting into it a few chapters, I went back to the net and looked up the book description. (Should probably have done that before I checked this out.) Anyway, I decided that I was far enough in and slightly interested, so I continued on.Cook is a fantastic writer. He’s intelligent and incredibly imaginative. The content and plot of this book is so beyond believable that I couldn’t help but get interested. Even though I found myself rolling my eyes a few times.The start of the book is set out in the ocean. There is a large drilling operation underway. The president of the company is on board the ship observing these operations since there have been recent difficulties. He boards a submersible with a scientist and captain to go under the water and check out the drilling apparatus. Three divers also enter the water. They will be the ones who actually work on the drilling rig, while the submersible observes. While waiting for the divers to reach depth, the other three venture west to check out a ridge. They are sucked into a deep whole. Shortly after, the divers, in search of the submersible, are also sucked into the whole. Once reunited, they are all in an underground world, much different than our own.The majority of the book describes life in this underground world. And while not aliens, per se, they are humans much different in their own ways. While the life there in Interterra was thought to be similar to Heaven, the crew wanted to go back to earth as they knew it. Overall, I’m okay with the fact that I spent time finishing this book. It was a little interesting and did allow my mind to drift. Unless scientific stories such as these are your thing, I can’t recommend this to you. Otherwise, be my guest! It wasn’t bad!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Being a long time fan of Robin Cook, I looked forward to reading this one. I experienced a bit of let down with Abduction however. I was not especially enamored with the story. It's about a group of oceanographers who dive deep into the sea to make repairs on a submersible research ship...but what they find is much more than they expected. They stumble upon an underground world, very different than the world above the water. I found myself looking forward to the end of the book very quickly, because, along with being just plain dumb, it seemed that the author was trying to fill the pages with ideas that did not flow together very well. It was so far removed from Dr. Cook's normal genre, I felt rather disappointed that I didn't get my "fix" of what he does best: medical thrillers. I would not recommend this book.
