Really enjoyed this, for a slow reader I read this in 1.5 days! Very close to 4*, would have been pushed up if parts in spoiler tags added. Learning the author was a criminal lawyer added a fun layer after reading!
Enjoyed the writing style, the first two thirds were very different from the last. I did feel that there was a little build up that didn't pay off,I would have liked to have actually seen a confrontation between Mitch and the law partners and their sentencing, how they grapple with that. I also agree with lots of other reviews that there seemed to be a lot of time spent on talking about salaries and mustache twirling. Also whilst some moments of sexism/racism from the lawyers made sense and were relevant to their character, a few times in Grisham's descriptions of characters this felt too much.
Overall, a really good read. Really tense and exciting, a classic 'cant put it down book,' will look forward to watching the film and reading some more of Grisham's books.
