This book was maybe the worst John Grisham I've read. I don't expect anything earth shattering when I read these, just enjoyment. I didn't really get that, it had underdeveloped characters and an unsatisfying ending. I get why he chose the ending he did, but it didn't make the book any more likable.
I am a fan of Grisham. He is typically a quick and entertaining read. However, this book seemed much slower. It took a lot longer to get through this one. I thought the topic was intriguing, and something that I am interested in from a political standpoint. However, this book just moved slowly. The ending was also much more depressing than I am generally used to with Grisham. Fans of Grisham should still consider reading this novel. If you are not familiar with the author, however, please consider one of his other titles.
It was good but very very politically dense. It was overall a good read but not quite what I was expecting from Grisham. I did think there was going to be some thriller aspect but it read more like a historical nonfiction account of events than a fictional account. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about how big business is affecting politics across the US.

This book was just, well, nothing. I mean, it was fine. It kept me entertained for a lazy afternoon, but there was absolutely nothing noteworthy about it. I always hate the 'rich guys are all bad' books. I thought it was lame. And the ending was lame. But the middle and first were lame, too.
I adore John Grisham and have read every fiction novel he has written. Although he has a pretty set style of writing and subject matter, in this book he manages to make the genre of law thriller fresh with a disjointed timeline and multiple perspectives.
I found this book to be quite compelling, even for a seasoned Grisham fan that thought she had "reat it all.

Hated the ending!!! This is the first Grisham book that was a disappointment to me. Ugh!!

I don't know if this book is bad or if I just don't like legal thrillers. But not for me. I did enjoy the characters though
