Rating: Summary: Teriffic suspense novel Review: The Client, by J. Grisham was a terrific suspense novel. You actually feel like you're living in Mark's, the client's, shoes throughout the novel by the way Grisham intelligently words the book. Any reader who begins this book will not want to put it down or leave the world of little Mark Sway and his personable lawyer.
Rating: Summary: THE BEST ONE YET Review: I'm only a 7th grader and I read this book and it was the best book I ever read and I have probibly read over 300 books.
Rating: Summary: Hart pounding and Realistic Review: The Client is an exiting and realistic interpritation of our legal system. It is a realistic portrayal of people who fall into the cracks of the American legal system.
Rating: Summary: A exciting thriller about a little boy and the mob! Review: A book that can't be put down. Mark is a 11 year old boy who must outwit the F.B.I. while running from the New Orleans mob! A Fast-action packed adventure that must be read!
Rating: Summary: Garbage and nothing more Review: If everyone keeps buying this garbage, he will continue to keep writing it. The characters are horribly boring, the writing is boring, the plot is boring, you know what the whole book was boring.I didn't care for one person in this book. It was a chore to finish this book. I will say that it was less a chore than watching the film though. I didn't care what the ending was. I continued to read this book our of respect for Grisham's previous novels. I would not recommend this to anyone. This is by far the worst of all his novels. It is close between this and The Chamber, but at least JG attempted to be thought provoking in The Chamber. This was just garbage.
Rating: Summary: Unconvincing characterization Review: A good juicy plot with all the makings of a page turner, truly in the spirit of pulp fiction. But most or the characters in the book (at least the main ones)are very unrealistic. The main character of an 11 year old child is absolutely rubbish. His lawyer a 52 year old lady behaves a no sane human being would. If u are looking for even a bit of substance or a pinch or relaity then dont even look at the book. BUT if u are seeking an engrossing plot and Grishams style, fast paced book, which u are willing to forget soon after or looking for pure entertainment the close ur eyes and give it a shot.
Rating: Summary: John Grisham was at his best! Review: The Client, to me, was an awesome book! It made you think about how life could be so horrible for an eleven-year-old. One of friends introduced me to wonderful author's books, and I plan to continue reading John Grisham's books. This book really deserves the 5 stars!
Rating: Summary: The Client is a thrilling page-turner that can't be put down Review: The Client is an exciting book about a boy who gets tangled up with the Mafia. John Grisham, whom I believe is a wonderful writer, puts a lot of spirit and excitement into this book about attorneys and crime. The Client is a great book that I recommend to anyone over the age of eleven. You do not have to love books to love The Client. I look forward to reading more Grisham books.
Rating: Summary: Disappointing Review: After reading The Chamber I was eager to read The Client which I hoped would be just as good. I was wrong. There was no suspence intill the last 100 pages.
Rating: Summary: Hart work for a small boy Review: We read the scool-short form of the "client". Afterwords we watchet the film. It was so different. But there is the possibility, that the original book is nearer at the film, then our short-form. Now to the book: Grisham's idea to put a child in a situation, where it stands between the law and the mafia is very interesting. It was thrilling to see how this child reacts in a situation, who is, when you look at the enemies, to dangeros and confused for it. All persons where lively and naturelly. But in my opignon, the story is a little bit too fare from reality, for a book who trys to be realistics.
