"More JCC!"
Thank you John Grisham and Audible! I couldn't put this one down. I loved the character J. Clay Carter. The world of torts, class actions lawsuits, etc. was so very interesting. Please don't let this be the last we hear of JCC.

"Simply entertainment"
I enjoyed the book. It started with a more hectic pace than it ended. While a somewhat predictable plot, the characters were full and interesting. I was engrossed with the devastating effect of greed on the main character. Grisham tied it in well with the past and the future. If you're looking for your teacher's literature, then pass. Otherwise, just enjoy it.
"Another Disappointment"
Thank God for the narrator, Stephen Beck was the only reason I listened to the end since the end was predictable half way through.
"The man is a great spinner of tales"
Is King of Torts great literature. Maybe not, but Grisham is a wonderful story teller, who creates a fascinating world we know little about, and will never experience, and brings it vividly to life for the reader. It's what we used to call a "great summer read."
"Good novel, but not a Grisham best"
This book is a good novel, but I do not think it is one of Grisham's best. It does not keep your attention as well as most of Grisham's do. I think he has done better on his "non-law fiction" books lately (Skipping Christmas and The Painted House). It is still a good book to listen to!
"King of Torts - Possible Jocker of Torts"
I've read Grisham extensively. For the first few years the novels were fresh and enjoyable. My impression of the King of Torts, is that it has the same plot used for the last couple of years. Lawyer makes good, develops problems, and is rescued to leave the scene giving up what the main character has worked to attain. If you're read his novels during the last two years you don't need to spend the money on this one. It's very much the same. What's the matter with the lawyer winning in the end and enjoying being a lawyer. Don't miss understand my review. Grisham is a great writer. I'd like to see something new.
"King of Torts"
It's hard not to like John Grisham and he hits on a timely topic. The difficulty I have with this book is it's predictability and the less than satisfying ending. With Mr. Grisham's last few books I have been left with the feeling that he could have done so much more with the plot. He appears to reach a point and then just wants to get it finished. I am still a huge fan, though, and will be on the lookout for the next one.
"Classic Grisham"
Classic Grisham. A real "page-turner". Michael Beck does a great job of narraration.
"Simply Grisham"
Once again, Grisham presents us with another outstanding legal thriller. Just when you thought the other shoe was going to fall.. it does. Beautifully written.
