I loved this book because it was very suspenseful!!!!
My favorite part was when Nate was performing the deposition on the secretary, and they caught her in the middle of a big lie. The lawyers were hilarious because they were so greedy. The end was very surprising and when I read it, I almost fell out of my chair!!! I definately recommend this book to anyone studying law.

This is a quiet book with a cumulative power to heal that goes far beyond the author's words. Many of us survey our lives from the trash heap of personal failures. Regrets can echo through the canyons of our lives for decades if we fail to heed the signs. There is a pathway out. Most of us fail to find it because our eyes are down-turned from the sadness and futility of self-recriminations. Redemption can sometimes come swiftly, suddenly sweeping away years of self-inflicted carnage. Other times, redemption may creep slowly in like some drunkard slinking home in the misty shadows of the night. Grisham's work here plants seeds in a very entertaining and non-preachy way. Hopefully these seeds will take root in the hearts of those searching for answers. Salvation lies within. Money can't buy it. Professional successes can't replace it. Chemical crutches won't dull the ache forever. Only through forgiveness and surrender will we ever find the place of peace and contentment that we all seek. The Testament is about one man’s journey home.

I think this book was interesting, but quite predictable. Look at all the hints Grisham gave that led you to believe Troy was not going to leave his money to his family. Grisham also uses great detail where it seems needed the least. Maybe if his books were a little more to the point, they would be more exciting.

I really love this book. But I have a suggestion to Grisham: He should
make The Testament Part 2 where Rachel Lane will make a holographic will
and then no one knew who is the receiver of her fortune and Nate will
travel again around the world to find the right person who will became
the next multibiliionaire then that person will die again because of
Dengue and will made another will for the Testament Part 3...... I will
just write the story next time. I'm still thinking of it.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. I appreciated that a book published in the secular market was so clear in its presentation of the Christian concept of redemption. The story kept me entertained, but it also drew me to reflect on my own life.
