Calico Joe

Though in the book it changes perspective, the main character of this book, is a young man named Joe Castle. A young phenom to the baseball world. In one point you listen to his experience being the new kid, and what it's like to go through the majors and have everybody looking at you.The other main character is Paul Tracey, son of Warren Tracey an MLB pitcher for The New York Mets. Warren is not a good pitcher, and he is not fun to have around. Especially after he loses.The book has many emotions, including, joy, heartbreak, and relief.

What I Liked About The Book:

I liked how even though Joe Castle is a fictional character, he plays with real stars of that era. Also, I really enjoy Grisham's style of writing. He really draws in as a reader and you never get bored. (I read the book in 2 days)

What I Didn't Like About The Book:

There wasn't anything I didn't like.

Theo Boone 3

The third and newest Theodore Boone book is full of drama. On a Monday an Electronics store was broken into and robbed of some tablets, phones, and Ipods. The police were still looking for a suspect. After Theo routinely parked his bike in the bike rack outside the school, one of his bike tires was slashed for the first time. This would end up happening three times in one week Also, the police received an anonymous that said to look inside Theo's locker, and they would find some of the stolen good. The police did so, and guess what they found.Would he be found guilty or innocent?

What I Liked About The Book:

In my opinion this is the best book in the series;. The reason behind this is because of how involved the main character in the book is. You never know what was gonna happen!

What I Didn't Like About The Book:

Like The Abduction there was one chapter that really had nothing tho do with the story. Besides that I loved it.

Theo Boone 2

The first Theodore Boone book is about the trial of Pete Duffy. It is a murder case, and so it is the talk to Strattenburg. The rumor, and The State's case is that while Pete Duffy was playing gold at the nearby golf course in Waverly Creek, (Where he lives) he drove his cart to his house (Which is on the 6th hole) and murdered his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Duffy had been separated once, and recently were determined to work out there problems. The thing is, Mrs. Duffy had life insurance policy, so if she died, Pete would get 1 million dollars.

What I Liked About The Book:

I love the legal/criminal aspect to the story. Because of this I learned a lot more about the leagal system and how things work inside a courtroom.

What I Didn't Like About The Book:

Compared to the other 2 books in this series, this was my least favorite. In the others Theo was involved in case, one way or another. Having him be separate from the action made it a little less intense.

Theodore Boone

Every time I was spotted reading this book, an adult would ask me, "John Grisham wrote a kids book?!?" And my answer was always the same. "Yes. He did write a kids book. Well actually 3" (so far). Pretty good ones, too.

Theo Boone and April Finnemore had been going to school together for a long time, and were very close friends. And Theo was one of the only friends that April had. Most night s the would talk for hours. Mostly April would tell Theo about how horrible her parents are. That was the case for this night in particular. This time, her dad was on tour with his god-awful band named Plunder, and no one had seen her mom for 3 months. This was a recurring theme and April was used to it. After Theo and her talked, they went to bed. Next thing Theo knows, he is being woken up by his parents, being told that April has been abducted, and they were going to drive to her house.

What I Liked About The Book:

I loved the mix of a fast paced mystery and a normal life of a 13 year old boy. Grisham's writing style also sucked me right into the story. I liked how it was easy and light, yet surprising and fun.

What I Didn't Like About It:

Occasionally there were that didn't seem related to the story-line, but that was a rare thing in the book. Besides that, I liked it!

The Son of Neptune

     The Son of Neptune started off, in the perspective of Percy Jackson. (The Lost Hero) When it starts he is in the middle of fleeing from two Gorgons chasing after him. But this is the least of his worries at the time. He remembers close to none of the last 16 years of his life.The only thing he remembers is a single name. Annabeth.On top of all of this he quickly finds himself at a strange place named Camp Jupiter, with weird ghosts calling Greek.

What I Like About The Book:

     For me, the books that I enjoy reading the most, are ast pace, action-y, fun stories. And those words fit the description of this book. I love how these books switch off between three characters, letting you get inside the heads of all the main stars. Also, who would love a flying warship??

What I Didn't Like:

     Like the first book, pages 100-200 are a little bit less face paced. But the reason of this is obviously. That section of the story is a set-up for some of the best endings of books I have ever read.
