Stories about children getting wrapped up in adult affairs aren't usually my plot type of choice, but this one was good. 11-year-old Mark Sway witnesses the suicide of a mafia lawyer, who reveals a very important secret to him before dying. The rest of the book is about Mark's attempts to stay safe while everyone - the FBI, the police in New Orleans and Memphis, the mafia - is after him. Surprisingly suspenseful and touching.

I know this book in my native language, but is very interesting experience for me read this story in English. The book is very useful for students- at the end of the book you can find Activities, where you can check your knowledge about the content of the book and English words. ( ) babaruda | Oct 8, 2009 | A very suspensful book and well-written. Probably my favorite Grisham book, so far. I enjoyed reading it and recommend it for others.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 0440213525, Paperback)With her sparkling voice and superb acting ability, Blair Brown gives an impressive reading of this John Grisham blockbuster. The story hinges on a young boy who gets an unwanted earful of murder, politics--and dangerous secrets about both--from a conscience-stricken mob lawyer bent on suicide. "I can tell you where the body is... the most notorious undiscovered corpse of our time." Just the kind of information most children don't need, especially when the snakeskin-wearing hit man finds out what he knows. Aside from musical cues scattered as superfluously as laugh tracks on a sitcom, the production quality is stellar, preserving the crispness of Blair's voice and the nuances of her excellent interpretation. (Running time: 6 hours, 4 cassettes) --George Laney(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:24 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
