Title: Is this Grisham?
Review: I've read most of John Grisham's books and have always enjoyed his storyteller voice and style. This book carries a very different tone and style -- it's much more cliched and predictable, and much less of a page-turner (in fact, many times it borders on boring). My biggest complaint is that he is sloppy in his storytelling, and inconsistencies, contradictions, and loose ends abound. It's nothing like his early legal thrillers, and is not even as good as his recent books like Bleachers and The Broker. If you plan to skip a Grisham book, this should be the one.
