Totally disappointing. John Grisham used to be thrilling and exciting... this book was predictable and dull. I had to force myself to finish it and even then I skimmed through it because it was just so obvious.



A weak story, not even close to his other work

Entertaining!

Found myself laughing at some parts of the book. But the narrative was serious when it was time to be serious and enthralling. Wish this was part of a series though...

Not my favourite John Grisham book, if you have time to read you can probably go through it.

Funny. Interesting. Great Grisham.

Not Grisham's best work. Didn't even seem like it was written in his usual style. I was somewhat disappointed. The dialogue was stilted.

Not one of Grisham's best. It was okay, but not what you expect from John Grisham. Definitely not a page turner. It seemed like a short story that was stretched out to novel length. I'll be reading his next book though, and hoping for something better.

This is a typical John Grisham book with a lot of action centered around a legal theme. In this book, David Zinc, a lawyer in a large firm, quits the large firm and stumbles upon Finley & Figg. As he finds his footing in a very different law practice than what he is used to, he finds himself drawn into a lawsuit against a drug manufacturer. This lawsuit was the brainchild of Wally Figg, an ambulance-chasing lawyer, as a scheme to get rich quickly. The story moves quickly toward a somewhat predictable ending. A good quick read for the summer.

Originally reviewed at Jayne's Books.

I was pretty lukewarm about this book and the book was pretty much the same as most of his other books that he has written. In otherwords, it was a quick read and didn't require a lot of thought to read it, although I enjoyed the case with the lead-tainted toy more than the main story.
