Review title: A 400-Page Newspaper Article Product review: I've read Scott Turow's earlier novels, which I greatly enjoyed! Unfortunately, Personal Injuries was a big disappointment. I kept plodding through it wondering when it would pick up... it never did. It was like reading a 400-page newspaper article!

Product review: While this isn't amoung the worst books I've ever read, it is one of the worst that I ever finished. As an avid fan of the horror genre, I was anxious to enjoy the first novel of the writer everyone was talking about. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I found myself hoping that it would get a little worse so I could justify not finishing it.

Product review: I had heard many good things about this book, enough to persuade me to buy it without browsing it first. That was my first mistake.There are no interesting characters in this book, or at least no sympathetic ones. (Some of them may qualify as "interesting", if one has a sufficiently flexible definition of "interesting".) Contrary to what the cover and the ad blurbs would have you believe, it is not the least erotic, the plot is poorly constructed, and the style vacillates between failed attempts at levity and overweaning pretentiousness.Other than that, it was fine.
