I’m not much into lawyer books, but I gave this one a try since I heard it was going to be adapted into a tv series and some of my favourite actors would be in it. It was definitely a slow burn for me, the slowest of burns I have ever read. It didn’t get interesting until the last 150 pages and my book was about 600. Despite it all I prefer the book over the movie adaption by a long mile. The movie did not do the book justice even though I’ve seen reports giving the movie its flowers. The book is way better. I can’t wait to see the tv series this late fall to see how they will adapt it for network television. If you’re wondering…you don’t have to read the book before watching the series.
