Book Description

April 30, 2006
FonoLibro les trae el audiolibro en español del bestseller "El Rey de Los Pleitos" de John Grisham, uno de los mas famosos escritores internacionales de novelas en la actualidad y autor de los bestsellers "La Firma" (La Tapadera), "El Informe Pelicano", "Tiempo para Matar", "El Intermediario," "El Cliente" y otros éxitos llevados al cine. “El Rey de los Pleitos,” llega a usted en una magnifica producción, con la calidad reconocida de Fonolibro, líder de audiolibros en español. A pesar de su juventud, Clay Carter ve su futuro con cierto cinismo. Hace años que ejerce de abogado público de oficio y la situación no parece que vaya a cambiar. De ahí su resignación al abordar un nuevo caso que promete ser como tantos otros: debe defender a un adolescente acusado de asesinato, un hecho corriente en la ciudad de Washington. Sin embargo, cuando Clay empieza a indagar en el pasado de su cliente, se entera de que éste se hallaba bajos los efectos de un fármaco en fase de experimentación cuando cometió el crimen. El laboratorio creador del producto, ansioso de que el suceso no salga a la luz, le propone a Clay un pacto. Para cumplirlo, el joven abogado deberá estar dispuesto a jugar sucio. A pesar de sus reticencias iniciales, Clay acabará aceptando, al entender que ésta puede ser la oportunidad de su vida: la compañía es una de las empresas farmacéuticas más importantes del país. La misión promete ser dura por el complejo entramado de poder e intereses en juego, pero la tentación es demasiado grande: de la noche a la mañana, Clay podría convertirse en el nuevo rey de los pleitos. En su nuevo thriller de corte legal, John Grisham pone al descubierto el enorme poder que poseen ciertos bufetes de abogados, a la vez que analiza las consecuencias que puede tener una ambición desmesurada. El Intermediario de John Grisham, también disponible en audiolibro de FonoLibro.

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Clay Carter es un joven abogado de oficio sin posibilidades de éxito laboral. Un día Recibe una tentadora propuesta, que será el principio de una incontrolable ambición. Así como el final, de su esencia como ser humano y su fructuosa carrera. Karl Hoffman interpreta a Carter con voz plácida y diálogos alargados. Pero su capacidad histrionica aporta variaciones vocales, que van desde sensibles voces para los personajes femeninos, hasta intimidantes y potentes voces masculinas, propias de un abogado. Algunos capítulos presentan falta de continuidad entre si, tal vez, debido a que se trata de una versión abreviada. Pero a pesar de esté detalle, Fonolibro presenta otra obra de gran factura. M.B.M. 2007 Audies Award Finalist

[ENGLISH TRANSLATION]--Clay Carter, a young court-appointed counsel, has little possibility of future success until he receives a tempting proposal that awakens an uncontrollable ambition. Narrator Karl Hoffman acts out the human struggle between personal values and the siren of profit. He plays Carter with a tranquil voice and lots of wind for long dialogue exchanges. His capacity for high emotion works well for the young female characters. The strong male voices used for the lawyers fit the pleasing stereotype we may have of such decisive types. Some of the chapters lack continuity, a frequent wound from severe abridgment, but the production is an entertaining way to practice your Spanish.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent audiobook CDs in spanish, July 13, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: El Rey De Los Pleitos / The King of Torts (Spanish Edition) (Audio CD)
sometimes slightly corny, but that just creates a pace. Very happy with purchase and accompanying book. I slowly work on perfecting my spanish listening skills because I want to live in a Spanish speaking country, this has everyday things scattered in with the plot related stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sufrí demasiado., February 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: El Rey De Los Pleitos / The King of Torts (Spanish Edition) (Audio CD)
John Grisham creó un buen personaje. Es un tipo sin escrúpulos al que el dinero fácil seduce y cuyo ego se infla de manera impresionante.

Hacia el final, no sabía si quería que le fuera mal o le fuera bien. Me creó un conflicto moral. Creo que le dio un final muy apropiado, lo que cada vez es más raro.

Casi le pongo 4 estrellas, por la desesperación que tenía yo, pero como una montaña rusa, mientras más se sufre, mejor.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad music ruined good narration, November 11, 2009
This review is from: El Rey De Los Pleitos / The King of Torts (Spanish Edition) (Audio CD)
The background music completely ruined this audio-book for me. A bit of suspenseful music at a few, key moments might have made the narrative more exciting. But elevator music starting and stopping every minute or so, at a volume that sometimes nearly drowned out the narrator's voice, was incredibly annoying. It's a shame, because the narrator is definitely better than most. To be fair, maybe a native Spanish speaker wouldn't have found it so distracting. Without the music, I would have given it a much higher review.
