Title: Not one of his best...
Review: I've read almost all of Grisham's books and can usually count on them for a good read. This book disappointed me greatly. The main characters, Clay and Rebecca, don't turn out to be very likeable; he's as greedy as all lawyers are made out to be and she's a golddigger. I found myself not caring whether they got back together, and actually hoping he might do some jail time.At the end we find out that greed is good if the cards fall your way, and if they don't, well, you still get the girl, your friends will give you some of their misbegotten fortune, and you can fly off to London and start a new life. Quoting, "He had Rebecca all to himself, and nothing else mattered." Well how about the thousands of people he screwed over in order to maximize his own wealth... don't they matter?Grisham did a good job of exposing the greed behind mass tort reform, but the story he wrote as a vehicle for his expose left me cold.
Is the review positive or negative?
