John Grisham

3.45 AVERAGE


Not one of his best.

Not impressed with the subject in the book, ok, Grisham is able to create some very interesting characters and he knows how to make a story gripping - but no, nothing for me, I leave it to middle aged man, 2 of them recommended the book to me ;-)

Unfortunately, this book did not age well. What a difference 23 years makes in politics, technology, and views on sexuality. Whew. It was interesting enough to finish, but it made the year 2000 seem really far away.

I took this on vacation like I do all of his books. They are of enough length and substance to be interesting but don't require much thought or concentration. For this reason they are my vacation go-to's along with a few other authors. This one didn't disappoint given the above parameters. An interesting story that held my attention.
