Title: Just cranking them out? ....
Review: John Grisham's lastest novel has great potential...a good story line, an interesting mix of characters, and even the right policital timing - but what happened? Although the book starts out well, as the two stories begin to intertwine, the novel just slips and fades away. Attempts at humor appear sarcastic and cynical. There's no true charater development, no exciting climax, and often the story draggs- not going anywhere. I stuck it out, hoping for some of John's typical twists or surprises or excitment, but no such luck. The whole book had a "manufactored" feel to it....just cranking out the next one so he could pick up the check. It could have been a great novel.
