Title: Not up to expectations
Review: When you read a John Grisham book, this is what usually happens: When you've reached pages 10 to 20, you become hooked, pages turn themselves, and you're done in a day or so. Not this time. I noted it took past page 100 or so for the "Grisham Effect" to take place. This is not a bad novel, but the high expectations never happen. You wait for a character with some redeeming quality (the 'hero') to appear, but it never happens. You wait for the plot twists, but it merely bends. And finally, you wait for the surprise ending that is not there. A good, but dissapointing, read.
