Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Aaron
The book was good and filled with suspence, but it did have a slow start. When it started picking up I got really into the book. It is a "short and sweet" type of book. I did not think it was as good as some of his other books though, and I would rate it as one of his in between books. I have read 12 so far.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Anonymous
Totally awesome after I read this book I really love John Grisham's books. I am 16 and now love his books.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Erin
The book was full of detail which made it easy reading. The end has a twist so read it and find out the mystery yourself!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Matt
I'm 16 years old, but I read the book when I was 14 and I remember it being quite enjoyable like most of Mr. Grisham's books. Though I do agree that it starts of quite slow, but I myself it was worth the wait because it was highly climatic at the end. I highly recommend it to readers of all ages above 13. It was one the the more entertaining books I have read.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Mary
I am 16 and I thought that this book was awesome! I started out really good with Ray finding the money and it got exciting at the end which made it go fast!

Rated 2 of 5 of 5 by Austin
Hey, I am 15 years old and I thougth this book <<was awful>>, it took awhile for things to get going then all he did was sneak the money around the whole time talking about how he does it and what is going to happen to him. Therefore, I reccommend the rainmaker or even Runaway jury.
