content: I really liked the way this novel started out, but a proper PLOT didn't really develop as I'd hoped. It read more like a biography, where a series of incidents occur--dramatic ones, admittedly--but with nothing that made me turn the pages once I realized it was "follow a lawyer's zaney career." Stuff just kind of happens to the protagonist, with nothing for him to resolve. He makes moral adjustments, but basically because HE HAS NO CHOICE.
