Summary: ZZZZZZZ....
Review: Sorry John, the book is boring. I really tried to get through it, but it's just a slow, slow read. Characters are dull and there isn't any suspense. Hope your next one is.

Summary: Worst Ever
Review: I have read all of Grisham's work and I am sorry to say I paidfor this junk. It make no since and I was so upset at trying tofigure it out. I could have thrown it away. Everyone I have talked to feels the same and the bad thing if this was the first of his books you have read, you might think all the others are this bad also. not so. END

Summary: Maximum Disappointment
Review: I was extremely disappointed with The Brethren. The plot was uninteresting, predictable, slow moving and the subject was distasteful and unbelievable. I had high hopes for this book and it is unlike any Grisham book I have read in the past. It is not very well written, has long tangents or descriptions that do not add anything to the book and was not worth the time it took to read it, let alone buying it.

Summary: Reminds me of my favorite author....
Review: John Grisham has done it again. Wow. What I loved about this book was the suspense. And the tension. The only book I've ever read that I thought had more suspense and tension than this one was "One of the Guys" by Robert Clark Young. But I would have to say this Grisham novel is right up there!
Rating:
Summary: Too Predictable (Great Plot, Enjoyable, yet TOO predictable)
Review: By page 40, I had a guess what it would be like. By page 90 I wrote down on a sheet of what my prediction of the ending would be, and told myself how disapointed I would be if I was right. Sadly, the book was so predictable that I nailed the ending completely (except for the 'time for children again in the white house' part).Grisham, keep up your writing, but put back the surprise twists please. I give this book .5 - 1.0 stars.

Summary: Fast Paced, Highly Entertaining/The Brethren
Review: This is a delightful read. Moves quickly and each step of the way is highly entertaining. A detailed look into three convict judges doing time and a scam from minimun security Federal Prison. Aaron Lake, is a new entry on the presidential ballot. Extremely "ELECTABLE", he is backed by the Head Honco of the CIA, their money and power. He has one "little" problem. The two plots come together in a lesson of power, money and ambition. Great characters; you'll feel you've known them all for years. Can't say enough good things about this book. I BET IT WILL BE IN THE MOVIES ONE DAY IF NOT SOONER!

Summary: Poor John ran out of good Southern Lawyer stories...
Review: Have read most Grisham books to date. Most have been predictable but enjoyable. Would liken his style to a grown-up Hardy Boys book. Clean with simple plots, easy to read. This latest output seems like it was forced out, to meet a deadline or condo payment. (Maybe it wasn't his own story?) At any rate, save your money and buy Angela's Ashes.

Summary: Ugh...
Review: It appears as though Mr. Grisham -- much like the characters in this awful book -- is too busy spending his royalties before they're received, rather than concentrating on his writing. A poor effort that shows little regard for the reader.

Summary: Where's the ending?
Review: Much like all the other Grisham books I have read, this one was a page turner, but it had no ending! The idea was great, but Grisham should have continued the book for another 300 pages. He left many questions unanswered and failed to develop characters in the way that he did in his earlier novels, i.e. A Time to Kill. I wouldn't recommended it to die hard Grisham fans. They will be disappointed.
Rating: 
Summary: I loved the book
Review: I personally thought this book was a great read. I couldn't put it down. I loved the new plot type. All of the others I have read involved being actually in a courtroom. The difference between the real thing and what is in this book is so startlingly different it becomes funny. I would recommend this book to anyone.
