“This was a very satisfying and gripping novel from John Grisham that really made me want to keep reading. The length of the book surprised me after reading previous John Grisham novels (this one's about 710 pages), but there wasn't any excess of unnecessary words or padding. The end was somewhat predictable, but that was good because you really wanted the company being sued to get everything coming to them. Further evidence that John Grisham is a brilliant author of US legal thrillers. ”

John Cliff wrote this review Thursday, April 28, 2011. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“Rookie attorney Rudy Baylor is the customary David fighting a legal Goliath (here a multibillion-dollar insurance company), and the suspense builds with impeccable pacing despite workaday prose. When the modestly sized law firm that contracted for his future services unexpectedly merges with a tony Ivy League firm, Rudy finds himself without a job and bankrupt. Filing a $10 million lawsuit takes away some of the sting, as does a lonely elderly woman's offer of low rent on a small apartment in exchange for rewriting her will. To make a living, Rudy finds himself chasing ambulances for a racketeering shyster, leading to his becoming enthralled with a beautiful young woman hospitalized by her husband's murderous attack. When Rudy agrees to represent the parents of a dying 22-year-old denied insurance coverage for a bone-marrow transplant, he finds that he is up against the firm that broke contract with him.”
