Title: Quick to read -- but not worth the time
Product review: You'll read this book in one night, and hate yourself in the morning. Grisham has, as usual, created a compelling plot line. But the characterization is too quick and stereotyped, even for the character we get to know best, Nate O'Riley. His conversion to Christianity is almost casual in Grisham's hands, handled in paragraph long cliches, and as a result unconvincing. The plot is predictable (and the text, at times, repetitive). Despite all this it will hold your interest; it's a fine beach read, if that's a compliment. But at the end you'll wonder what you might have done with the time you just spent.
