Sycamore Row by John Grisham

2.0

---

I haven't read a Grisham novel in awhile. I have always enjoyed them but I strayed away from them the way you do when you know an author too well and find it difficult to be surprised. Sadly, not enough time has passed, I guess. Sycamore Row failed to deliver any surprises. In fact, I think the story could have been told as convincingly in 75 pages rather than the 447 it clocked in at. It seemed clunky, repetitive, and laborious with flat, flat characters. So flat I could barely distinguish them from one another. And I definitely did not care about a single one. Clearly, I'm in the minority of reviewers here who seem to love it. I wish I had. I wanted to!
