507 of 531. Damn, this is a good book. I just finished it and the only thing left are the acknowledgements as well as a preview for the newest Mickey Haller book, The Fifth Witness. I can't wait to pick up more books in the series as well as to read some of Connelly's other works and I've definitely got to rent the movie.

Damn this is a good book. Grisham could really learn a thing or two about Connelly. When I read Grisham, I didn't really care about the characters, but that is not the case with Grisham. Connelly does a great job of making you care what's happening and wanting to see the guilty punished for their deeds. Bravo, Mr. Connelly.

The last two legal novels I read were decent but not very engaging; the characters were bland and pretty one-dimensional. In 68 pages Connelly has already done a much better job. Haller is believable as a somewhat jaded defense attorney and I love the way many of his clients aren't "saints" who are being unfairly prosecuted. Sure we're lead to believe his main client is innocent, but many aren't. Very believable
