The Pelican Brief

Rating:
Summary: Thrilling read...
Review: The best John Grisham book I have read. Thriller with government and lawyer coverups. The book is much better than the movie. Grisham does a great job of getting you into Darby's situation and feelings. I enjoy his style of writing, not too heavy and not so predictable and simplistic as other writers.

Rating:
Summary: Quite Boring
Review: The thing about the Pelican Brief is it's borning. There's not much action. No twists and turns. No shocks. It's just a bad book.

Summary: Well done
Review: This story of a girl on the run from a crazed industrialist is well done. If it seems there are a lot of clichees, remember that this book was so well done that it actually started the whole genre of person on the run from shady corporate? government? people. The protagonist is a law student who accidentally stumbles upon the solution to a crime (assassination of supreme court judges). Someone is trying to silence her. The entire story is her running, the people who are trying to help her, and the people who are trying to kill her. Not bad.
