“A bookd that I will never forget. This was the first book I read of John Grisham. Grisham's books completely satisfies my love towards court room dramas. The movie however was a major let down.”

“Good story. A young Memphis lawyer takes on the insurance company help a mother and her dying son fight for help that the insurance is denying . ”

• Rated 5 stars

“The plot of the book is very energetic so far, by chapter 2 there has already been a lot of action. I like Rudy, as a character. He is a young man that just finished law school, has no experience in being a lawyer, and has a mountain of dept. We don't come across people like this in real life, so that made the book very interesting for me to read so far. Also there is romance in the book, which adds on to the suspense (has to argue a case in a court with highly-qualified lawyers) and makes the book even more interesting to read. So far I have enjoyed reading the book, and I cannot wait to see what happens next. This book is definitely my type of reading so far. ”

“Although I had seen the movie version of this book many times, I never had the chance to read it. This book is one of my favorites by John Grisham and it kept me turning the pages from the very beginning!!!”
