Title: Disappointing Grisham
Review: The Brethren is a disappointing followup to Grisham's previous works. The plot is contrived and implausible. There is little character development. Indeed, there are no likeable characters or even characters with which the reader can identify. Since this is a presidential election year, it seems Grisham stretched to come up with a topical plot. It didn't work.
