NOVEMBER MOD READ: THE PROFESSOR by Robert Bailey

I began this yesterday, planning to read sufficient to commence discussion today. By the time I forced myself to give up and sleep, I'd finished 52%! THE PROFESSOR is an incredibly polished, truly larger-than-life novel. I'm not fond of converting books to film, but the nature of this novel is so vast that in itself, it resembles the Big Screen. From the first episode, I felt as if I viewed the events, not visualized them. Secondly, there's so much here that in a lesser hand than author Robert Bailey's, would have been rendered trite and flat, two-dimensional. Good VS. Evil. Greed vs. Common humanity. Lust vs. Integrity. Instead, it is all fully rendered, consuming, encompassing, and engrossing.

I won't go into deep detail--the novel speaks for itself--but you owe this immense reading experience to yourself.

I finished this yesterday. According to the author note, Mr. Bailey went through 3 complete rewrites. Whatever he did produced a seamless and perfect narrative. I can't speak to the legal matters, nor to the Alabama settings, but characterization rings true and powerful, and the pace, especially during the trial, is rapid-fire. I recommend THE PROFESSOR wholeheartedly and without reservation!
