Summary: Profoundly stupid, yet vapid
Review: This is the book John Grisham could have written in Junior High, or Scott Turrow might write after a full-frontal lobodomy. The dialog has more corn than Iowa; the plot twists are as surprising as a dishwasher manual. It is truely a "page turner" in the tradition of Fun with Dick and Jane.

Summary: Loved the writing style but poor finishing
Review: I loved the style of writing by Brad Meltzer. His charecters were lively. The humour was good. The thing I liked the most about this book was that it I could see the charecters in my life. But when I was imagining a thrilling ending I was dissapointed . I had to close the book feeling that the ending could have been better. But overall its a good piece of work by Melzer.

Summary: Adolescent and shallow
Review: I can imagine what conversation must have been like in the household in which Brad Meltzer was raised. In The Tenth Justice he must have everyone of his one dimensional characters utter the line "I don't want to talk about it" several times. And the main character converses with this dismissive on at least fifty occasions.

Summary: good beach or plane reading
Review: I noticed that not everyone liked this book, and I can see their points. However, if you are looking for something quick and entertaining, this fits into that category. The dialogue, though sometimes trite, keeps things moving quickly, and it is nice to have a woman character who does not need saving by the men. I liked the male characters, and found their closeness, and subsequent "break ups" to be very true to life. Much of this book rang of thinly disguised autobiography, but I'll still be waiting to see the author's sophomore effort.

Summary: Great Concept, Poor Execution
Review: Brad must have an Uncle Hymie in the publishing business because he most certainly did not get published on talent! Sophmoric dialogue and plotting weigh down a promising concept.Many references in the book to "the friends". It is certainly as shallow as the average episode of this tv show. This book looks like a rough draft to me, a great (not a good editor) might have been able to salvage this dreck. Brad is not even the writer Grisham is. Brad do not quit your law practice just yet!

Summary: A great weekend book!
Review: I thought the book was great, I read it in less than a weekend. Yeah, the dialoge was a bit corny, but then again this is his first book, give him a break.

Summary: Who Does Brad Meltzer Know at Warner Books?
Review: This was one of the worst books I've ever read. The dialogue was trite, the characters were shallow and one dimensional. The premise of the book seemed interesting but a writer of Meltzer's inexperience couldn't carry it off. Reading used to be the last refuge for those of us who are not interested in Melrose Place, 90210, or Party of Five. Save your money. If you really want to check this book out . . . check is out at the library and save the $7.00. Or better yet, I'll mail you my copy. It certainly won't be joining the shelves of my library.

Summary: If the going gets tough; Cry baby, cry.
Review: Despite what some others have written, I enjoyed the plot, and yes it could have been done in 200 pages. However the thing I found most irritating beyong the moronic boys club was the fact that when times got tough all the "men?" broke down in tears. Except for the suicide, which generated honest sadness, these guys spent more time with "tears welling up", "breaking into sobs", and hugging and consoling than I care to read in one book. C'mon guys, its OK for men to cry, but not every time things get rough and you throw or are the recipient of a tantrum.

Summary: A pass! As a consuming public, are we realy this naive?
Review: Finished the Tenth Justice and must say that I'm amazed this was ever published. Sophmoric dialogue, plot, storyline, and tone added up to a book that never even comes close to working. Save your money and your time and read something, anything, else. This is a real poor piece of writing and time. Hype, hype, and more hype..
