The Final Case by David Guterson

1.0

I wanted to really enjoy this one. The premise is a great story about a writer taking time off to chauffer his aging father, an attorney who can no longer drive on what may be his last case. The case is the death of an Ethiopian foster child at the hands of her fundamentalist Christian parents. His father represents the parents in this case. Like he says someone has to represent them or it wouldn't be a fair trail. A sad story of bigotism, cruelty and abuse that rings all too true. That being said it started out really well. Then it went on and on without really getting to the story. I will say that the author's ability to write run on sentences is amazing in that one sentence filled a whole page.
I hate to say I didn't finish this one.
