Summary: Good reading but not typical Grisham.
Review: Thought this was a particularly uncomfortable book to read. Anyway, I did enjoy the book as it was a slight departure from Grisham's typical fare.
Rating: 
Summary: As Good As expected
Review: Who says that Grisham cant write a good novel and he wrote that one very well.

Summary: THIS TIME, GRISHAM WAS UNINSPIRED
Review: I would characterize this novel as mildly interesting. Unfortunately, we have all grown to expect riveting storytelling from Mr. Grisham, therefore one inevitably feels let down by the somewhat predictable plot of THE STREET LAWYER. Grisham's novels have been often labeled as legal thrillers. Yet this story would never be characterized as a thriller; instead we are presented with a slow paced and uneventful narrative of a lawyer who suddenly is determined to fight for the plight of the downtrodden.

Summary: beautifully symbolic
Review: This is only the second Grisham book I have read and I enjoyed it. I can feel the anguish the main character feels, as he heroically deals with important issues in our society. The critics who missed the beauty of entertainment intertwined with real life problems, are an example of those who choose not to see.

Summary: John Grisham Fan...
Review: I have read all of the books by John Grisham in order...always waiting for the next one to come out. This book was good but not his best by far, I was actually able to put it down. I still give it 4 stars because it is still John Grisham.
Rating:
Summary: Go read it! You'll enjoy it.
Review: So, it's not as good as The Firm, but this book is captivating. It kept me hooked until i had it finished. It's a little predictable, but I would still recommend it. A very fun and entertaining book!

Summary: Has a great start but begins to slow down as it progresses
Review: John Grisham is back with another mind compelling novel which starts out great but begins to fade as the novel continues. It is a story about a big time lawyer from the firm Drake and Sweeney in Washington D.C. who takes a 90,000 dollar pay cut to ansewer his true calling as a street lawyer. He begins to investagate the death of a homeless family and finds alittle more then he was looking for. Take the time and read it, you may have to fight threw the begging but it is worth it.

Summary: Typically presented, but enough with the preaching.
Review: Grisham reaffirms his ability to spin a good yarn here, but once again you are left to sift through his developing habit of proselytizing to find the story. I read this kind of book for escapist entertainment, and I don't need John Grisham to lecture me about the plight of the homeless any more than I needed him to lecture me on the horrors of the gas chamber. This guy was a lot more fun to read when he stuck to basic issues and didn't have a morality lesson interwoven into the narrative; if I wanted to read books that embraced a political agenda, I wouldn't be buying a Grisham novel in the first place. This author is much better when he just tells a story than he is when he uses the novel for political activism.
Rating: 
Summary: Waiting for a plot to change
Review: Although the characters described by Grisham rise the expectations at the beginning of the book, the plot just won't change for the better. The story is heart warming and well written, but it was not a story I expected to come from John Grisham.
Rating:
Summary: A total snooze fest.
Review: I have read all of John Grisham's books and this was by far the worst. The story had a good premise but John Grisham didn't deliver in this one. If you have never read a Grisham don't let this be your first, you may not read another.
