The Appeal by John Grisham

2.0

I have always been a fan of John Grisham, but this book was a little disappointing. I usually can't put any of his books down, whether it's a court room thriller like the Summons, or one of his more introspective books like Bleachers. But for some reason I just couldn't get to excited about reading this book. It could have been the depressing nature of Cancer County or the stark realization of big business's strangle hold on politics. I think what bothered me most about the book is how Grisham sets the reader up, making you believe that one of the main characters in the book is going to have a change of heart, and do the moral thing, but this change never comes, and it goes by without explanation. This book is worth the read, but not one of my favorites.
