Great Book!
Yes, I am biased. But even with a lawyer's critical point of view, Grisham is at his bes.t

A Must-Read!
John Grisham writes amazing books, and I loved every single one I read so far, including this one. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat, and keeps you awake all night trying to finish it. It was excellent.

This is an amazing book. Usually I finish books I really like in a day or two, but this one took me about four, just because I didn't want it to end. John Grisham is a great author and I highly recommend this book to everyone. It has a little bit of everything to keep a wide audience interested. Even if you have seen the movie, this book is a must-read.
