Negative Positive
Title: poor effort
Review: This was a simplistic novel. The characters lacked credibility and their personalities were stereotypical. The plot was unwielding and unsatisfying. It was difficult to figure out who the ultimate killer was because it was totally unrealistic. Grisham's novels always have a feel good aspect to them (i.e. lawyer finds his way; justice prevails) and I think that is what hooks the reader. The quality of the book is secondary. There are so many better writers out there ( Elizabeth George, Laura Lippman, Peter Robinson). I suggest readers give these authors a chance. You won't be sorry.
