A review by tayclassics
The Street Lawyer by John Grisham
4.0
This is not my to-go genre, certainly not a book I would purposely choose among a slew of others. I initially bought it at a local flea market, it was a beneficiary foundation, and now I cannot help but think it is quite fitting the money I spent on this book went to someone in need, considering its storyline.
It is a concise story revolving around the disastrous situation of the homeless in Washington, and everything is analysed through the eyes of a lawyer, who after a near death experience reconsiders his priorities.
There’s nothing quite like honest characters who connect with the human part of their being they had been stuffing for years on end, and see them prioritise someone else’s welfare. I found the story to be easy to follow and very catchy, with small droplets of pain and sourness of heart splattered here and there, but nevertheless great.
I’m grateful a happy ending was given, for I know that is not always the case. Justice applies for every single person. That is the motto I would link to “The Street Lawyer.”
Perhaps I will eventually buy another book from this author: he certainly uses polished words.
Overall, it is a very interesting read—I do think everyone should dig deeper into the reality of our Country’s ability to deal with unfortunate people, and gather enough knowledge to stand on the right side of it.
