(  ) Anagarika | Oct 30, 2009 |  2477 The Burden of Proof, by Scott Turow (read 7 Dec 1992) This book has as a character the lawyer who was in Presumed Innocent, but it is not a sequel to that fascinating book. Nor is it nearly as good a book as Presumed Innocent. This book disgusts by its immoral characters, and Sandy Stern, its central character, after 30 years of faithfulness to his wife suddenly turns into a tomcat. The story is not too compelling and having all the usual obscenities scattered through it made it not a good read. (  ) Schmerguls | Apr 26, 2008 | About a family and its deepest, most closely guarded secrets. Alejandro "Sandy" Stern, the leading defense attorney in the midsized Midwestern city where he lives, comes home from a business trip to find that Clara, his wife of thirty years, has committed suicide. DunnFunKat | Sep 25, 2007 | I could have handled a little less of the main character’s sex life, but that was the only flaw. It is difficult to put down. The plot keeps taking unexpected twists and turns. (  ) JustMe869 | Mar 8, 2007 | A fantastic book, probably my favorite of Turow's. This is one of the first books I remember in the "legal" genre, and it's a solid, enjoyable read. ( ) herebedragons | Feb 3, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
