John Grisham

3.54 AVERAGE


First of all, it's John Grisham. You KNOW it's going to be good, so just take it off the shelf and start reading.

That said, I really liked this one. It was a little lighter than some of the others. It was similar to "King of Torts" but a little lighter and a more upbeat ending.


One of his best books yet!!!

This was great. Kind of humorous but also serious. Enjoy!!!!

A fun, but also pretty good look at what happens when newbies stumble into the world of mass tort, this time with a disillusioned corporate lawyer and two long time ambulance chasers. I enjoyed the Chicago setting, although some details were totally wrong and Chicagoans will note them easily. Dennis Boutsakaris did an OK, but not exactly accurate, job with the Chicago accent; overall great narration. Humor abounds, totally enjoyable. If you want to understand mass tort better, try Grisham's The King of Torts.

Solid Grisham. Entertaining story, moves right along.

A light read, surprisingly humorous.

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

I was fascinated by the trial. Having felt completely out of my league several times, I could empathize as the trial fell apart.

Knocked off a star for tons of fat-shaming talk throughout the book. Otherwise, I would've gone for 3, as it was at least an easy read and David Zinc was someone to actually pull for and like quite a bit. It's not even close to Grisham's early novels, but I do think it was a bit better than some of the more recent ones. Minus the fat-shaming.
