Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Sarah
I am usually not a reader, but had to read this novel for a class. I really enjoyed the book, and I believe Grisham really did his homework on this one. I flew through the pages and every time I had to put it down, I couldn't wait to be able to pick it back up to read what happened next.

The issue in this book is a real issue in the world and our community, and I believe the story was an eye opener for some of the people in my class. I am glad that Grisham has the ability to bring real life issues to the surface in a fiction novel. I wonder, if we had more authors like that, if some of the major issues in our world would be such a problem because more eyes would be opened by their stories.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something good to read.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Cory
I think Grisham did a great job with this book. It seem very well thoughtout and it sounded like he knew what he was talking about. He is an excellent writer.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Justin
I thought John Grisham wrote an awesome book... and I am in love with all of his writings. I enjoy reading this book, "A Street Lawyer" and look forward to reading his book "A Time to Kill". I am glad I have such a great opprotunity to read this book!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Kevin
I couldn't put it down. I kept me interested from beinning to the end.

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by jasmine
i believe that it was a good book, but all of the action was packed into 2 chapters and then it dwindled off....it seemed as if John Girsham was in a hurry to write the book.
