Title: Better than Grisham's most recent works
Review: In this book, the hero starts out as your typical Grisham protagonist - young hard working lawyer, toiling away in the Office of the Public Defender in DC. In a twist, however, our hero, Clay Carter, grabs at the brass ring and jumps into the sleazy world of mass tort litigation. His ethics are questionable, his motive is greed, and his rationality vanishes. He spends money like mad, selling out his clients in the process.You don't like the guy for most of the book, a point that is driven home by Grisham time and time again. I won't give away the ending here, but I'm glad Grisham didn't turn things around all rosy and happy - that would not have been realistic.The book is a quick and easy read. I enjoyed it more than I have more of Grisham's recent efforts. It's not as good as his early works (Time to a Kill and The Firm) so I can't give it five stars. Four will have to do.
