Title: LEGAL DRIVEL-OR-SLUDGE TO END ALL SLUDGE
Review: After reading Burden of Proof, I had not read Scott Turow since. I ordered this volume from a book company in Pennsylvania which obtains volumes from libraries, etc, to sell at a discount. I managed to get through 170 pages before calling it quits. Turow has written an excruciatingly boring volume, full of dull characters and a plot which is as exciting as watching chrome rust! The sixties scene has been done to death, enough already, the judge is poorly written, the other characters arouse little more interest than a funeral. Turow has made the same mistake John LeCarre made-getting so full of himself he thinks he can do no wrong. Le Carre has basically written sludge the last few books. After trying to get through Laws of Our Fathers, it looks like Turow has joined him. I don't think I'll read Turow again. A sad waste of what seemed a really promising talent.
