Engrossing and well read but.....

More contrived than intricate
The legal twists were fascinating, the human behavior- not so much

Awesome Narration

A narrator can make or break a book. Edward Herrmann is a narrator worth following! No sissy-baby girl voices for females, no exaggerated man voices. Very very easy on the ears for a 2000+ mile drive! Scott Turow’s book was interesting, twisty and had good lessons in it. I recommend this book.

Outstanding

I have been so fortunate to have decided to read this book. I love legal drama and pay dearly to enjoy a good story. I cannot tell you how much money I have wasted on very poor attempts. Every now and then I hit upon a winner and this bool has it all. The storyline is strong, it is interesting and so very plausible . I enjoyed every line and highly recommend the read to all. I will be reading much more of his work very soon.

Love Lost and Found

Absolutely fabulous! I just made it last because I didn’t want it to end. I lived it!

If you loved Presumed Innocent, I have no doubt you’ll love Innocent. Jump. It will satiate you.

For all those who say Innocent is not as good as Presumed Innocent, it’s too easy to forget what a high bar that is for almost everyone reading this book. Nonetheless, I disagree with that assessment. It is a different book. It has four narrators: Rusty, his son Nat, Tommy Molto – who gets a whole new, humanizing, look – and Anna, a likable, sympathetic character with a complex role. Sandy Stern still plays a lead role, but he is less of a star than in Presumed. (This fact alone might have discouraged me from reading this book, but I’m glad it didn’t.) Yes, Rusty is older, but he is the exact same character you knew. The writing, something perhaps too easily overlooked in such a good story, is such a pleasure to read that it astonishes. Turow’s prose is as good or better than in PI, but either way is immediately familiar in the best sense. And I found the ending unquestionably more satisfying than the ending in Presumed Innocent. While Turow is never going to wrap things up in an (unrealistic and unbelievable) Happily-Ever-After-Walk-Into-the-Sunset ending, the ending of Innocent left me far more settled than Presumed Innocent did. Like I had finished a really excellent nine course meal, down to the perfectly rich desert and lulling after-dinner drink, and could walk away perfectly sated; a feeling I did not come close to having after Presumed.

I don’t feel the hesitation some seem to have in recommending this book wholeheartedly. So again, if you loved Presumed Innocent, don’t hesitate. You won’t mourn that the characters have gotten older. They haven’t fundamentally changed. If you loved Presumed Innocent, I have no doubt you’ll love Innocent. Jump. It will satiate you.
**I must note that some reviews suggest that the mystery or twist is how the death of Barbara occurred, but that is not the twist, so do not be put off by thinking that’s much of an issue, or that you’ve somehow tripped on a spoiler.
