Rating:  Summary: Do not judge John Grisham by this book! Review: It was with anticipation that I bought The Street Lawyer. I also read the book with anticipation. Every page I anticipated that something would happen. I am considering writing to John Grisham and demanding my money back. The book was so slow and painfully pointless. The Street Lawyer was definitely not the best Grisham. I was disappointed in the beginning by the change in Grisham's writing style. By the end of the book, I had forgotten about the new writing style and I was disappointed by the lack of plot.
Rating:  Summary: John Grisham's Worst Volume Ever! Review: I normally think that some Bazookas like pie, but i hate this book! its frontal nasal area is completely nibsillius, and its a very boring Romp throught the flowers of delirium, dementia, and de-duplication, the 'three D's' that most books try, and are succsful too, to avoid!Overall a simian effort from an donkey pony horsey show author, if you think that some terwilligers are just TOO terwilligy, then dont tell me i am a clown with no knowledge of the 'english' language, i think i know that! But, seriously folks, if you like ice cream (and i am sure you do!) then (^) dont pour coffee up your nose!, i cant emphasize (pie) that point enough, cofee is for DRINKING! nose drops are for nose dropping! Sertiwilleger! So dont buy this book, you can buy a stuffed spotted owl instead and have countless hours of enjoyment pouring coffee up ITs nose! Bingo!
Rating:  Summary: Predictable Review: It looks like Grisham has gone the way of many authors. He's under contract to publish a book a year - regardless. This effort is far from the excitement and intrigue offered by his earlier books.
Rating:  Summary: a page turner couldn"t lay it down best ever Review: John keeps reader on edge of seat, this fast paced mystery never has a dull moment. a real treat can't wait for a follow up. best he has written and I have read them all. a movie making must!!
Rating:  Summary: Extremely disappointing Review: I've always purchased the newest Grisham offering without knowing the plot line, but no more. The fast pace and gripping story of "A Time to Kill" and "The Runaway Jury" have been replaced with the talkiness of social relevancy. If he can get his political conscience off his sleeve and return to being a storyteller, he may once again become one of my favorite authors.
Rating:  Summary: John Grisham finds a conscience. Review: What little plot there is, impossible, self serving and just plain ridiculous. The hero (?) could have been at the start of a career,still in law school anything but an overachiever working 90 hours a week. He is willing to toss everything away including a wife because of a vague epiphany even he cannot explain. No chance of life imitating art here. No art, no story,no way.
Rating:  Summary: EXCELLENT!!! A must read Review: This book grabbed me from the very first sentence, it also made me think and feel things I should have been thinking and feeling about homeless people. I applaud Grisham for addressing the subject.
Rating:  Summary: Bearable. Review: The Street Lawyer was averagely fair. The plots were easy to follow and easy to predict. Worth to read it.
Rating:  Summary: Not one of Grisham's Best. Review: Interestingly enough I read this book during a 2 hour flight to Washington D.C. and then back again. The plot was extremely predicable, the characters were not well developed and the ending was trite and unconvincing. The homeless depicted in the book were so unsympathetic that I found myself thinking like the Congressman in the book. This was definitely Grisham-lite.
Rating:  Summary: Very disappointing Review: The beginning was very good. If drew me in, but then the plot got very slow and boring. Then the story finally picked up a bit, but actually to no avail, since the ending just kind of......ended. It seemed as if Grisham got tired of it and just wanted to finish. I think he spent too much time describing every single thing he saw.
