A review by celtic_oracle
The King of Torts by John Grisham

3.0

This is the first Grisham book I've read, and it wasn't quite what I expected. This is very much out-of-the courtroom civil law stuff, while I was expecting a courtroom drama. All the same, it was an entertaining, if not a little depressing read about big tort lawyers and the power of the almighty dollar.

The only real criticism I have of the book is that it could probably be about a hundred pages shorter. All the real action seemed to happen in the last hundred and fifty pages or so - that was the point that I found it really hard to put the book down.
