Title: NICE TRY, BUT...
Review: I've read all of Grisham's novels and this one is by far the weakest. I guess he should be given some credit for trying to get away from the tired formula of some of his recent books like The Partner and The Street Lawyer, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. In general, none of the characters are well developed or likeable: the whole lot is two dimensional and mean spirited. The constant jumping between the two story lines is very distracting, even though a second grader could see where things are headed. The ending is very abrupt and unsatisfying, like he saw this was a story not going anywhere and not worth saving. I would bet that if John Grisham's name was not on the jacket of this book, it would be on the express elevator to the 25 cent bargin bin.
