Title: Even the Babe didn't hit a homerun everytime
Review: I have read and enjoyed thoroughly all but one of Grisham's other novels, but couldn't get into this one. The book seems to move rather slowly, because it is hard to find any characters in the book that you can like, respect, or even see anything unpredictable in. The difference between suspense and boredom in a story is often the development of some sort of empathy with the character or characters. A third of the way into the book I asked myself, "If all of the characters in the book died in a natural disaster on the next page, would I be sad, would I even care?". In fact, I wrote my own ending and happily put it down at that point.
