Title: Inconsistent, uneven, not even worth the read.
Review: Grisham gets further and further away from his earlier brilliant books. I could barely follow the extremely implausible and uneven plot line. He is really inconsistent, often the characters contradict themselves within a few lines or paragraphs, i.e., extolling that they will only go so far to bend the rules of law, which they hold sacred, then in the next breath they go way over the line, almost in parody of what they just said. Grisham's had his time, wrote some of the best pageturners ever. This one was phoned in or ghost-written in a couple of days.
