Review title: An excellent character study
Product review: I would have preferred a different ending, and the Kimble County conceit strikes me as a strange device. Why not come out and say Chicago? (I know Turow claims KC is a combination of a variety of cities, but it sure reads like Chicago to me.) The story might not be as engrossing as Turow's previous works, but the characters were the stars here, and they were excellent. Even the minor players were well drawn. I don't agree with the criticism about too many people to keep track of. If you've ever read a Russian novel, this was just small potatoes. Definitely worth the time.
