Limitations

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Presumed Innocent comes a compelling new legal mystery featuring George Mason from Personal Injuries. Originally commissioned and published by The New York Times Magazine, this edition contains additional material.

Life would seem to have gone well for George Mason. His days as a criminal defense lawyer are long behind him. At fifty-nine, he has sat as a judge on the Court of Appeals in Kindle County for nearly a decade. Yet, when a disturbing rape case is brought before him, the judge begins to question the very nature of the law and his role within it. What is troubling George Mason so deeply? Is it his wife's recent diagnosis? Or the strange and threatening e-mails he has started to receive? And what is it about this horrific case of sexual assault, now on trial in his courtroom, that has led him to question his fitness to judge?

In LIMITATIONS, Scott Turow, the master of the legal thriller, returns to Kindle County with a suspenseful entertainment that asks the biggest questions of all. Ingeniously, and with great economy of style, Turow probes the limitations not only of the law but of human understanding itself.

Excellent Stroy teller

Wow this is my first Scott Turow book and I have to say I love his writting, it is such a shame that I can't get his new book here in Australia as I would love to hear it.

Story line is great moves and a good pace and the narrater is fantastic.

So-So for Turow

I have to add my agreement with those who say this definitely is not Turow's best (which are many!) or even close. Sorry I wasted the $.

Beginning Difficult

Hard to understand . I had to listen to the beginning several times before I could continue. I’ve loved all his other books much more. Narrator: hardly any change in his voice. By far not one of his good ones.

Good but too short

This was a good read. It seemed too short - as if there was a story just on the edge of being told but just not enough time or inspiration. I did enjoy it though as I do most of Scott Turow's writing and would recommend it for someone just finishing a hefty novel and wanting something light before moving onto another big read.

This is my fav Scott Turow book this far. Takes legal thriller to whole new level.

I like how the personal and professional struggles interacted to give the characters a much deeper level of psychological complexity than other novels in this genre! Love this work.
