Since this is the first Grisham I have read in long time, I wasn't expecting much. I loved his early books, but just got tired of the same old lawyer story. This one was defintely different, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It could be because I listened to the audio book in the car on a long trip. The story was gripping enough and actually funny which made the drive almost fun.
The story involves 3 lawyers with completely different personalities. David, the youngest, has been working for a high powered law firm for 5 years. He cracked up one day on his way to work and ended up in a bar. At the same time a small firm manned by Wally and Oscar have started the day on the prowl for a good personal injury case. Circumstances which are completely unbelieveable lead David to this small firm of Finley and Figg. From there, the plot thickens when the 3 lawyers find themselves involved in a class action suit concerning a powerful drug company. The courtroom scenes are hilarious.
I highly recommend this book just for the fun of it, and you'll probably come out a little wiser about the legal system.
