    "John Grisham on excellent form as usual"

    A great listen, Grisham never fails to deliver and this one is no exception. Thoroughly recommended.

    "Very disappointing"

    Read all of his previous books and was really looking forward to this. Big let down. Daft unbelievable story. Bad all round. Can't believe I wasted money and time on it.

    "Not his best"

    The plot is weak and the ending predicable. I really enjoyed it until the halfway point but once I guessed the ending it was a case of going through the motions. Fans of the author maybe a little disappointed and interestingly the authors note at the end made me feel like it was a novel to fulfill part of a book deal.

    "Silly .. But a good yarn.. I couldn't put it down."

    Classic Grisham.

    Peppered with legal paraphernalia (enough to make you feel educated). The plot moves at a good pace and there is a twist (naturally).

    Great holiday reading (listening).

    More Grisham for me.

    It had me puzzled for a while, but all was made clear. The story was great and the narration quite excellent?

    "Good story"

    The latest from John Grisham is a good story and has a number of unexpected twists. I read the book first and then listened to the audio. The audio narration added an extra dimension to the story and helped bring out aspects I had missed while reading. I would recommend this audiobook.

    "Gripping legal thriller"

    The twists and the turns of this legal thriller are amazing to say the least. It is well delivered with clear pronunciation and emphasis on the right words to give the reader a gripping book to listen to and read at the same time. John Grisham as usual delivers in his typical style another book that readers can enjoy reading or listening based on their preference.

    "Grisham... not great"

    This was my first Grisham novel and I'm sorry to say I have been disappointed, it will most probably be my last. This book is dull, slow and tedious, it is also padded out with out with a plethora of superfluous detail. The characters are also hard to connect with and if you don't care about the characters there is little reason for you to keep listening for 12 hours.

    "Possibly the worst Grisham book I've read "

    Like many people, I chose this title based on the author and the seemingly great reviews. I wished I'd read past the first two they show you. It started off OK, but then became boring and mundane. I found myself skipping 30sec chunks without missing any of the storyline. It's not like a normal Grisham book, the characters aren't that likeable, the storyline is very random and at one point, I felt sorry for the bad guy, the only decent, enjoyable part coming at the end. If you like stories that go along the lines of, he woke up, he sat up in bed, he swung his legs around, he put on his pants, he put on his left sock, he put on his right sock, he put on his left shoe, he put on his right shoe, then maybe this is for you but for long parts of this book I found myself screaming 'get on with it!'. Its a shame, because I love Grisham books, but this was definitely a labour of love.

    "Nonsensical Story "

    I enjoyed the narration but detested the story; I had mistakenly assumed it would be a story with substance and was awfully disappointed.
