Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by mike
What a great book! This was the first book I read from John Grisham, and he has instantly become my favorite author. I would have never thought, by looking at the cover, that the this book would be that good. The plot NEVER dragged on and it always kept me interested. It was never slow, and the ending was great. I read THE CLIENT, and that was good, and I am starting THE SUMMONS this week. I hope it will be as good as THE TESTAMENT was.

I highly reccomend this book to anyone that enjoys a good book to read.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Jay-Jay
This book was absolutely without a doubt GREAT! I LOVED this book. This is my favorite Grisham book. I stayed up all night just to finish this book and it was worth it. I've recommended this book to friends who have never read Grisham before. I wish this book is made into a movie too. It would make a great movie and I would stand in line and pay five bucks to see it too.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by maggie
The testament is no doubt a good planed bombshell, which twists the court lawsuit and the fantastic Brazilian advanture together. It strongly reveals the greed of people in the material society; on the other side, the wildly mystery Brazilian nature gives up the peaceful scene. Even I have not been there, I feel just like being there and experience the hardship and life-threat. Meanwhile I'm sad about the people living in the civilization. Their dirty spirits and immoral behaviours.......

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Jacqueline
