Interesting plot with a few twists.

Another great book by John Grisham. It kept me guessing to the end. Want to see this on the big screen!

Hampir kehilangan minat saat karakter Nathan Cooley muncul. Lebih karena tidak memahami tindakan-tindakan aneh Max Baldwin setelahnya, dan tidak tahu siapa sebenarnya Nathan. Meski demikian semuanya terjawab tuntas di akhir, dan ini satu dari sedikit karya Grisham dengan plot twist that i didn't see it coming.

Or my rating is more like 2.5 stars. This book did nothing for me. At first it was slow and I easily bored from it. Then in the middle it picked up and I thought, ok, here we go, I can finish this. Oh man, I couldn't wait to finish this, it was bad. Confusing at times, and just the plot was dead. Sorry Grisham, I haven't read many of your's and this put a sour taste in my mouth to read others that I have heard such good about.

Really loved this book by John Grisham. It's one of many of his that I have, and I've finally got round to starting to read them. I must say, it was definitely a good place to start. The story got more and more gripping as I read further and further, and there were numerous times that I didn't want to put the book down. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone!

3.5 stars

I was drifting along. That's just it. Not gripping enough, not emotional enough compared to his earlier novels. Even before I reached half of the book, I started to lose concentration and I just don't care enough what will happened to the main character.

Still, a 3.5 rating for my successful finish and a bit of excitement along the way.

A breezey summer read. Nothing deep but fun.

I got on the waiting list at my library last year for this book in Kindle format. I was glad when it was finally my turn! I read this one quickly, as I do most Grisham books. Once he sucks you in, it's extremely hard to put down his books :)
