I must admit, that I felt a little disappointed at the end, though reasonably well entertained in the middle of the book. I feel that the ending was an antiklimax. I mean, suddenly the Feds stop contacting Clay, but nobody asks why? However, I enjoyed many of the characters, as I found Patton French and Ridley pretty realistic, though Rebecca was too feebly descriped. I do recommend this book, but compared to e.g. The Firm (an obvious 5 out of 5) this leaves you wondering, what this one missed.

This book was awful, even worse than the summons. I loved runaway jury and enjoyed the brethren, but this one was no good. The whole thing just makes you dislike every single character, from the businesses to every single lawyer and pretty much all the side characters. The ending felt like the end of a South Park episode: "I've learned something today..." Call me old fashioned, but i like to put down a book and feel like at least ONE of the characters was a decent human being.

I admit, this book was horrible. However, you do have to give credit to the fact that it kept you hooked until the very dissapointing end. I kept expecting the plot to appear but it didn't. It was just an extremely long narration of some sort with no point to it. If you're looking for a great Grisham read, try The Runaway Jury, but DO NOT watch the crappy film adaptation. They change the plot completely.

Please...just because it's Grisham doesn't mean you have to give it a 2 or a 3 if it was a dissapointment. This book was poor. Clay goes from principled defender of the poor to rich, greedy tort lawyer too fast and without any reasonable explanation. The ending was rushed and predictable. Plus, we never get to really know Rebecca or Clay, so it's hard to really care what happens to them anyway. The book is a '1', gang...admit it.

I thought that the whole premise that Clay Carter would become a mass tort lawyer was flawed. In one breath we see that the guy is principled enough not to take the job his future father-in-law tries to get him and then in the next breath he agrees to compromise his profession by making $5 million side deals. I also thought that a poor job was done of actually explaining why he ever wanted Rebecca back or why he allowed the model to milk him dry. There was not much conflict in this book and the ending was extemely predictable. This book is not a good advertisement for why people read.

I have always enjoyed Grisham. However I am only on page 77 of the King of Torts and I feel as if I know what is going to happen and that I have read this book before.
