mrshev 's review for:
The Litigators
by John Grisham
It's a John Grisham, so it's not going to win any awards but I kind of liked it. It feels like a bit of a departure for Grisham, a more of a light hearted tone, and I quite liked this approach.
I also thought that this was going to be a bit of a 'Doc Hollywood' style of novel and our demotivated and burnt out high-flyer would bring some uptown glamour to a small 'street lawyer' firm...but that's not really how it pans out and because of that I found it quite a satisfying conclusion and enjoyed it.
The whole trope of the honourable lawyer feels a little overdone and I sometimes had to turn from the page when told of the hardships of a lawyer pulling home triple figures and I was genuinely surprised that this was written in 2011 as some of the attitudes here feel very '90's.
Overall, a decent read - it's a John Grisham, what were you expecting?
