content: just finished it today, and it was a good read. my all time favorite grisham is the testament, and this is not nearly that good. but it's better by far than the brethren or painted house or the summons. i kept reading just to find out what was going to happen to clay: you know that he's going to have a crisis strike, but you can't imagine which of his problems is going to be his downfall. he seems like a good guy who gets caught up in his desire to be wealthy.so, your basic grisham book. worth the time if you enjoy him, but not his best.
