A review by rae607
Sycamore Row by John Grisham

2.0

I can remember when John Grisham's novels were thrilling page-turners. This was recommended by a friend, but did not live up to my modest expectations. I wasn't anticipating great literature, but I was expecting an engaging, lively story. While his early books involved fascinating trials, this one is bogged down with a lot of back and forth procedural stuff related to estate law. Blah. The novel picked up steam toward the end, but it could easily have been 100 pages shorter. Do yourself a favor and re-read The Firm if you're in the mood for some Grisham.
