balise 's review for:
The Litigators
by John Grisham
The Litigators is the story of two pretty pathetic lawyers, Oscar and Wally, soon to be joined by David, who left his previous job at a prestigious lawfirm on a whim. These three guys (none of them having had any previous experience in court) end up, mainly because of a coincidence, attacking a big pharmaceutical company on its star anticholesterol medicine, Krayoxx.
When I pick a John Grisham novel, I mostly expect to be entertained for 400 pages with lawyer stories (it is NOT a contradiction ;) ), with a story that's not necessarily breathtaking or surprising but that's well managed/directed, decently well-written, and... that's pretty much it.
The Litigators clearly delivers on these points; I also found it funnier than other books from Grisham, possibly because the characters are more intrisically comical. All in all, I'd say it met and even exceeded my expectations - it's a good Grisham :)
