Rating: Summary: The first one I read, but certainly not the last!!! Review: I think this book is really exciting, intresting, and anyother words that describe excellent. The only reason I read the book was because the libary didn't have any other of my favorite authors and my libarian suggested it to me. I am so happy I did read it.
Rating: Summary: It was the best. Grisham. Review: This is Grisham's best. I never thought he could top The Firm but he has now! The best I've ever read.
Rating: Summary: Second best book from Grisham Review: This book was almost as good as the Rainmaker. Young Mark happends to witness a murder and gets into trouble.His only help is Reggie Lowe who stands for him against the mob.
Rating: Summary: JOHN GRISHAM'S BOOK IS THE BEST Review: I REALLY ENJOYED THE BOOK THE CLIENT. IT WAS ACTION PACKED AND I THINK I READ OVER 50 TIMES.
Rating: Summary: Grisham strikes again! Review: Romey, the lawyer of a man accused of murdering a congressman, commits suicide. Mark Sway, an eleven year old boy, observes the act but little does he know that it will lead him into serious trouble. Mark has learned crucial information that will convict the Mafia hit-man, who is accused of murder, but he doesn't want to tell the district attorney. He is afraid the Mafia will kill him too. Mark hires a lawyer to protect his rights and help him out-smart both the district attorney and the Mafia. I really liked this book. It is probably one of the best books I have read and I'm sure I would enjoy it just as much if I read it again. "The Client" is filled with suspense which made it really hard for me to put down. I love suspenseful books because each chapter leaves the reader hanging, not knowing what will happen next. I've read most of John Grisham's books and this has to be his best. His other books are not as suspenseful and riviting as "The Client." The book is really long and it took me a while to read it. It contains long, drawn-out scenes dealing with law, but the good things out-weigh the bad. One of the best things about "The Client" is how Grisham shows the age and attitude of Mark. A great example is when Mark asks the judge if he can take the 5th amendment. The judge says no but Mark replies, "Why Not? It applies to kids to doesn't it? Yes, (says the judge) but not in this situation. Then why did you put me in jail? (Mark replies) I'm going to send you back there if you don't answer my questions (the judge declares). I take the fifth amendment anyway (responds Mark)." John Grisham is a terrific writer and I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it to anyone who really enjoys suspenseful stories.
Rating: Summary: The plot is fatally flawed, and the hero is insufferable. Review: This book, like most of Grisham's books, is based on an utterly asinine premise. A little kid learns a secret and the mob doesn't want him to tell. The protagonist -- an insufferably precocious and sensitive 11 year old -- believes that if he does't tell, the mob won't kill him. Its absurd. So long as he keeps the secret, the mob has a good reason to kill him. This book was no surprise -- Grisham's other books, most notably The Brief, are similarly flawed. The story is contrived, the prose is mundane, and the ending is predictable.
Rating: Summary: excellent plot for a land in paradise... Review: This tale of young Mark Sway is gripping to the very end. Grisham has a writing style that begs you to continue reading. However, the book lacks a great deal of realism. A eleven year old child outfoxing the most brilliant minds working in the govt. is kind of hard to swallow. But then again, a realistic plot wouldn't make much sense.
Rating: Summary: Just Okay Review: This book started out good. The middle was okay. And the ending was stupid. To Grisham's credit, he did manage to portray an 11 year-old kid pretty accurately. Mark was constantly thinking back to TV and movies he has seen for advice. I am a pretty big Grisham fan, but this is certainly not him at his best. If you are looking for a good Grisham novel involving the mob then read The Firm. The Firm is my favorite Grisham novel (with A time to Kill being a close second). I would give The Client 3 and a half starts if I could.
Rating: Summary: Worth to read but not the best Review: John Grisham always write what U want! The Client not the best of him, But If U have lots of freetime, It worth to check out!!
Rating: Summary: Good read. Makes you see reality through the life of a child Review: Undoubtably one of Grisham's best books. After The Firm it is my favourite of his titles. You will never be able to put it down.
