This was my first Grisham's book. Though I've seen some of the movies from other of his books, I didn't know what to expect from The Testament. The very shocking opening doesn't fade out as you go through the pages, it just keeps changing, but never fades. I agree with the person who said it doesn't end predictably, and that for me is so difficult to achieve, yet so great when you find a book that does it.

I have recently become a big fan of John Grisham books. They keep you going from page to page and make you not want to stop reading. I personally finished reading The Testament in 2 days because I got so wrapped up in it. It is a great book and I would encourage anyone to read it.

i've been always reading stories for Grisham and injoying them,but this story was different from the other ones i've read, it was more than i expected, it contains suspens and pulls the reader to continue reading to know what will him,and as Grisham used to do,it has a good lesson : someday the good person will get a gift as an expression of his good behavior towards people.

I had to read this for a worldview class in school and really didn't expect to like it. It was easy reading and really exciting. It wasn't predictable and I really enjoyed every part of it. I highly recommend it!

Last semester, I took the ESl class in a community college and read this novel.
Firstly, It was my great chance to read The testament by John Grisham, a novel written in American language style.
Secondly, the characters in the story are perfectly described their psychological reactions by the author.
Moreover, the author reveals that some people ussually purchase for the money and then the money will run away from them.
Troy Phelan, one of the 10th richest men in US, was a lonely and unloved husband and father as well. In his last-minute will. HE left all of his fortune for the right person, Rachel lane. This illegitimate daughter is a very good- hearted person who has devoted all her life for human beings.
The theme of the story is also about how to make a meaningful life because this world is full of peace and freedom.
Finally, I beleive that everyone has ever read this novel could find something to learn, something to think about and something to do for the world around us.

The general premise of this book is great. The greedy heirs, the missionary who wont take the inheritance, the Washington Lawyers who fight tooth and nail to secure the money, but it never really reaches its full potential. All the way through the book Grisham tells us why the Phelan heirs should not get the money, and then in the end they get it anyway. Plus the Nate thing sort of collapsed. Did he find Religion in the end or not? Good, but could have been better.
