3.0 out of 5 stars
Of very uneven quality but on the whole entertaining,
By rwx "991234xhr" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: L'Idealiste (French Edition) (Paperback)
The main storyline contains courtroom drama that matches Grisham's best for attorney shenanigans and legal surprises. I couldn't stop reading the portions that described the trial.
On first reading, the first 100 pages bored me. But now that I am re-reading, I see the point and they are ok. The conclusion is bizarre and anticlimactic and seems silly, as though Grisham couldn't come up with a sensible end. The love intrigue is irrelevant to the case against the insurance company and is contrived. The story is marred by Grisham's tendency to use his story for his far-left activism. Here it is a campaign against big corporations (insurance, in this case) and abusive husbands. With good editing, condensation, and self-discipline, this could have been a masterpiece. |
