This book left no impression on me whatsoever. What kind of a name is 'Clay' for a main character? This guy simply had no substance to him and he certainly did not deserve to be the hero in this book. Not that he was ever in danger of some other character stealing the lime light from him. Not a single person in this book was worth the trouble, not one.
Sure it shows us just how greedy lawyers can be but come on now, surely we don't have to read such a boring book to find this out. My die hard principle when it comes to books is to 'no matter what finish what i start reading'. So i had no choice but to read it to its insipid conclusion. I have read one other book by this author which i thought was only marginally better than this one.In my opinion the major problem with Mr. Grisham is that he concentrates on plots and does not do enough on the characters in his books. So while we may gain insight into how the law works we have to do it with the help of characters who sound like robots. I am not sure i want to read anything else by him after this.
