Title: Needed A Better Editor
Review: I think the author was trying to fit two books into one here, a view of the 60's race relations and a legal thriller. Becuase of that I think the thriller got a little crowed out. I have no issue with the story line and some of the detail, but I thought it took more away from the book then it added. He is known for writing tight, suspenseful legal thrillers, great fiction that you can sink your teeth into. The subtle preaching of societies wrongs also left a bad taste in my mouth, I am looking for fiction when I pick on of his books up. On the other hand he is a good author who writes in a somewhat complex way so that you have to pay attention. This is not the McBook of Grisham, but a deeper telling of a story. He has put out much better books in the past and I would suggest starting with them before taking on this beast of a book.
