This is a well-crafted, eye-opening veiw of the insurance industry that should be mandatory reading. (  ) chadwrite | Aug 16, 2009 | This is a great book to read. Its story is captivating and makes you want to read more about the key characters. Once halfway through the book all you want to know is the ending and have to read the rest as soon as possible. (  ) lchs.mrso | May 26, 2009 | This is my favorite Grisham novel, and in my opinion the last good novel he ever wrote. Everything afterwords seems to be formula writing. Highly recommended.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 044022165X, Mass Market Paperback)The supple voice and deft narrative skills of Frank Muller are an excellent match for this tremendously popular courtroom thriller. With subtle vocal changes, accents, and thoughtful interpretation, Muller helps elevate the drama and suspense of this fascinating tale, which pits a small-time rookie lawyer against the power and influence of a corrupt insurance company. Muller's talent gives life to the entire cast: from apathetic law students to slippery corporate lawyers and heartbroken senior citizens. "It's simple... they're a bunch of crooks," exclaims the young lawyer's first clients, an elderly couple bitter over being swindled. "They think we're simple, ignorant trash with no money to fight 'em." Battling his instinct to agree, he sets out to defend their rightful claims and finds himself enmeshed in a suspenseful case of ruthless intimidation and deadly criminal behavior. (Running time: 17 hours, 12 cassettes) --George Laney(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:01 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

There are some great moments, some of the best court room drama Grisham has written. But because of the lackluster beginning, it's hard to fully endorse this book. (
