 Very disappointed February 23, 2008

I bought it. I read it. I enjoyed it. Then came the ending. I hated it. Then I hated that I invested so much time reading it. Don't waste your valuable time and money on this one.
crappy ending spoiler alert February 23, 2008

I was engaged for the most part, but what a let down of an ending.
Let's just say there was no pay off for the reader or the plaintiff.
 Predictable February 23, 2008

Very disappointing! Charecters, plot and even conversations are predictable. Little story and a lot of padding. End is equally disppointing. Has Grisham lost it?
Long winded February 22, 2008

I have always enjoyed John Grisham's novels...but i found myself struggling to get to the end of this one. This book starts out fairly good, a very large and wealthy Chemical company was found guilty of dumping toxins into the ground behind the factory. Eventually the toxins made its way into the local drinking water and the townspeople started dropping like flies from cancer and other health problems. Through a long court battle the chemical company was found guilty and the plaintiff was awarded a very large sum of money. The chemical company of course would appeal, the stocks in the chemical company drop, billions of dollars are lost. To make a long story short the chemical company put up millions of dollars to support a supreme court candidate that would side with the big chemical companies, and insurance companies ect. and the book heads off in the direction of the campaign which was very dirty and filled with lies and deception. I wont give out the end, because it wasn't the ending i was satisfied with, but it was very unexpected.
This book was long winded and at times boring but all in all it wasnt absolutely terrible. If you are a Grisham fan you will get through it, if you have never read any of his books, please don't start with this one.
 Love that man! February 22, 2008

I strongly wish John Grisham would publish more of his fiction. I am always so impatient, waiting for his next one to come out. Consequently, I find I read his novels slowly in order to savor them like a fabulous meal. Thank you John, you've done it again.
