    			  A very quick read, too short and rushed, in my opinion.  It was good, but left me wanting more.  I finished it in about three hours.  The sex was more graphic than her later novels are, a bit too graphic in my opinion.

<span id="freeTextreview_rating62567671" style="display:none" class="reviewText">It is so enjoyable to read books that can be paralleled to real life.  Not that reading books as a way of escaping real life is bad, but sometimes, it’s a big help to have things put in real-life perspective.  Randy Singer’s newest book, The Justice Game, is such a book.  He deals with an issue that I have never before read in any other Christian fiction book—guns.  And I don’t mean, someone dies from a gunshot wound and that’s the only place the gun is mentioned.  No, this book is all about the gun debate, and it looks at the whole picture.<br/><br/>I was not raised in a home with guns.  My husband, on the other hand, was.  Growing up, I had an irrational fear to guns simply because I had never been exposed to them.  In the last couple of years, thanks to my husband’s patience and teaching, I’ve become more comfortable holding one and firing one.  In spite of my personal history, I found myself going back and forth between sides throughout this book.  It’s somewhat hard to explain that without giving away something crucial.  Even though going after a gun company to seek restitution for a death caused by one of their guns sounds a little crazy, I have to admit that I probably would’ve thought to do something similar.  But on the other hand, how in the world can a gun company be held responsible for people’s actions?  Mr. Singer explores both possibilities, and he tells the story from both sides of the argument very well.<br/><br/>There is no doubt in my mind that I will be looking for more books by this talented author in the future.  I will admit that it was a little slow through the first 100 pages or so, but hold on to your hats for everything else that follows.  You will not be able to put this book down!<br/><a href="#" onclick="Element.hide('freeTextreview_rating62567671'); Element.show('freeTextContainerreview_rating62567671'); return false;">(less)</a></span>

<span id="freeTextreview_rating60335300" style="display:none" class="reviewText">Rachel Crawford is a television reporter for WDXR. She is hoping to really make it big at the station. The piece she is about to break tonight will hopefully help her chances. The story is about human trafficking. The owner of a The Surf, Larry Jamison was supposedly luring women to America. In the middle of telling the story, Mr. Jamison barges into the television station and starts shooting people. The SWAT team come but just before they apprehend Jamison, he kills Rachel. Rachel was twenty-three weeks pregnant.<br/><br/>Now her husband, Blake Crawford wants to sue MD Firearms, the company who manufactured the gun Jamison used. It really isn't about the money but about justice. MD Firearms was aware that their guns were getting into the hands of criminals and they did nothing about it. What would happen is that someone would go into a shop wanting to purchase a gun and if the background check on them didn't pass then the shop would give that potential buyer the name of someone who could purchase the gun for them.<br/><br/>Jason Noble works as a criminal defense attorney. His father is not proud of him. He father is a cop. He believes that Jason works for the bad guys. Jason hopes to own his own law firm one day. He is contact to be the attorney for MD Firearms. Jason realizes this could be his biggest break yet. When Kelly Starling is first contacted by Mr. Crawford, she thinks it is a trick. After talking with Mr. Crawford she agrees to represent him in the case against MD Firearms. This is the ultimate battle between good vs. evil. You won't believe how it all ends.<br/><br/>The Justice Game is the first novel I have read by Randy Singer. I can remember what I said as I was picking up this book to read it. I said &quot;I hope this book is as good as it sounds&quot;. Let me tell you that it exceed my expectations. The Justice Game reminded me of John Grisham's The Runaway Jury. It had that intense drama, great characters, and a riveting story line. I could definitely see The Justice Game being made into a movie. The best part about this book is that even Christian authors know how to produce really great reads! Mr. Singer has made me a fan<br/><a href="#" onclick="Element.hide('freeTextreview_rating60335300'); Element.show('freeTextContainerreview_rating60335300'); return false;">(less)</a></span>
