HIS WORST WORK YET!
I thought this was the WORST book that he wrote. Unfortunately it was my first John Grisham book and luckily I was not turned off by it. He is a good author, but I thought this was really poor work.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by shenae

Review (not rated) by wubet

i really liked the book, eventhought it does not tell where Rickey (Luke's uncle) was the father of the new baby!!

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by oli
The charecters in this book are so real. Although this is not a typical grisham book it still has so much action u will not want to put it down. This book is one of his best.
