A re-read from YEARS ago - probably middle school? Anyway, a lot of these solutions are laughably weak, but it's still fun to try and figure out what the clue is in each pile of evidence.

This a very good book deciding on the out come on a case in a courtroom.The person who wrote this book has a very intalectawal way of thinking.The way the story is ploted out in a case. One of the best stories in this book is the black out case.

I really like this book written by Marvin Miller. I am not really into mysteries but this book really got me interested. Each of the short mysteries in the book got my mind working hard trying to figure out the solution. Each of the stories are not too long but not too short. As you read more and more, the mysteries get harder and harder which brings more of a challenge to you as the reader but makes it more fun to read. You can tell by just reading the title of the mystery, for example the very first mystery was the case of the dangerous golf ball and one of the last ones was the case of the big bank robbery. Each short mystery is unique in their own way and doesn't repeat so that the book isn't boring. Each case had their own evidence that would eventually lead to the verdict but the evidence is what made it interesting. You would have to look in detail and think about each persons testimony. I would recommend this book to people who love to read mysteries and are patient with themselves.

Great book for kids and we had fun reading a few on a road trip with 28- year-olds as well

[Edie Walls · Rating 3 out of 5]

The mysteries in this are inoffensive enough but being framed as court cases doesn't make any sense. There isn't a single one of these cases that feels like an actual court case.

Borrowed from Allie - a cute little read while waiting for new titles from my library. I'd probably read another one like this, but not anythng I can't wait for.

The book you be the jury courtroom collection, by Marvin Miller, shows us how through dissecting a problem or situation you can get to the bottom of it. It shows this through court cases that have occurred and left for the jury to decide the verdict. Sometimes the evidence leads them to a longer path, and at times loses the case for a while.

Little by little they kept investigating and analyzing what really happened and who is responsible for this case. The hard thing, but truth about court cases, is that EVERYBODY HAS a different story to tell and tangles lies within the truth. There are some cases where you really have to pay attention because the guilty person can be at the tip of your nose. These people can be real sneaky…

My teacher recommended this book to me and I enjoyed every word in it. I really enjoyed reading how you can learn many different things. For example, what happens to the guilty person after they are caught, and many more things! I would definitely recommend it to everybody. Especially to those who enjoy mystery books and people who would one day want to become a lawyer.

I liked this book because it was cool! The book gave you 3 cases and you can be the jury and decide if the defendant innocent or guilty. It is cool because when I read this book it makes me me feel like I'm in control. If you ever want to read this book you have to ask me because this is my book. I give this book a B-. This book is not boring to read I think I can read this book all the time, it is that good. You should read this book!!
