afwolf 's review for:
Sycamore Row
by John Grisham
As a general rule, I don't read legal fiction. With the exception of To Kill A Mockingbird, which I read every year or so, I can't remember the last legal drama I read. But, I remember reading and liking A Time To Kill, and I was intrigued when I learned that Grisham had written a follow up to that book. So, I ditched my general rule and read Sycamore Row.
Probate cases are rarely exciting, but in true Grisham style - this case is. Grisham did a great job telling an exciting story, keeping the story as legally accurate as fictionally possible, and admitting and explaining when it wasn't. But, what I enjoyed the most was how true and relatable the Grisham’s lawyers were. Grisham did a great job illustrating the small-town-Americana legal system and all of its typical characters.
