Book #90 - Theodore Boone: The Abduction by John Grisham

I actually finished this book almost two weeks ago, but I've debated whether I wanted to continue this blog or quit. As you can see, I decided to continue it. Today is my son Samuel's 6 week birthday. So, as you can imagine, my reading has declined drastically in the last few months since trying to compete for time between a three year old and a 6 week old takes up my entire life. However, this book came at just the right time. I've decided (with nothing to back my theories up) that John Grisham is bored with doing the "adult lawyer" books. I think that's why the plots in those books have been overdone and not as fresh as his first few. But, I think he's bored with it, and Theodore Boone is his outlet to be creative. I'm sure Grisham grew up on the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew (if he'd admit to reading her), and he's created a character to rival them in Theodore Boone. I loved this book. It's easy language and enticing plot were just what I needed. I look forward to the next installment!!!
