Julie Fandal

A slow book that puts the reader straight to sleep. It's a boring story told my an expert writer.
Jim Haley

I have read all of Mr Grisham's prior books and this is his poorest effort. Poor plot--poor characters--and poor ending. Plot involves 2 brothers--an attorney and an addict--$3 million and their Father. I read about 1/2 the book and wondered when the story was going to begin. Mr Grisham introduces class action lawsuits--casinos--and money laundering into his plot.
Save your money and your time. You will never see this book on the movie screen and it never should have been printed.
