Title: Not his best effort, but he is still one of the best.
Product review: Like in all of Grisham's books, lawyers are brilliant beyond reality and are chock full of hidden or evil motives. This current-events novel is slow paced for much of the first 400 pages, but the detail creates a building that is necessary for such a complex topic. Some will read this as a guise for displaying an anti-tobacco tome, but a closer look will demonstrate a balance that is rarely achieved even in non-fiction works. Even the good guys aren't so good. Grisham can do better, and he should. His talent is broad AND deep --- he should take his time to produce a richer and more innovative set of stories within the story. All-in-all this production still places him in the elite of contemporary writers. He set a high standard with his previous works --- it's up to him to meet the mark each time out.l
