His first few books were great, fast-paced adventures and after that Grisham wrote books for the money. The only reason that I bought The Testament was because of the great review in USA Today. I was hoping to find the Grisham adventures that I once loved. Wrong! This book was the best sleeping pill since college Geography. If you feel you must read this book to see for yourself -- go to the library or wait for the paperback and save yourself some money.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: The best yet! Review: This is by far the best book John has written. The sub-plots keep you just as interested as the main plot.
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Quite different from the usual Grisham suspense. . . Review: Not a bad book; just not what I was looking for or expecting. I wanted a real page turner; this wasn't one. There is a greed vs. goodness going on that makes you realize it's not just fluff. Rachel and Nate's relationship could've been developed alot more before the end of the book.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Page turning story line. Review: The first page has you hooked, the personal thoughts of Troy, wise/mad all at the same time. "The Testament" storyline has much improved from his previous books - last two books moved slow and became dull but I continued to read with hopes of pace picking up. Highly recommend this read!!

It was a great read and Grisham hasn't failed in this book like his one failure (in my eyes), The Partner. This book is full of detail and adventure in Brazil. A great escape while reading.

Review: John Grisham, who in the past writings, has gone from GREAT (The Firm, The Pelican Brief) to the HARD-TO-STAY-AWAKE (The Chamber), has kept my attention again with this one. It is not only an interesting book, but it is shows the reader that indeed a lawyer can posses a soul! I highly recommend this book! The only thing I found I didn't like about the book was too much attention to detail was paid while Nate was in Brazil. Not enough action---too many details that didn't really add to the story line. I'm still in love with John Grisham and will continue to be a hard-back buyer! I married a boy from North Mississippi, and they just don't grow them any better than that!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: All inspiring Review: I found this book an inspiring adventure through South America. I could actually visualize the native tribesman and the jungles described (probably because wanted to learn about this area)The heirs were colorful and gready - so typical of beneficiary of so much money. I loved the development of Nate and his journey to "find himself". Either you love this book or you hate it. Inspiration is the key word for me.

Here's another lawyer, writing another review of another lawyer's book. Except this book is different: it works. Here's the best development of character, and change of character, that Grisham has written yet. And for me, that's what makes a book or film work. As for the depiction of the lawyers for the Phelan family members - wonderful! I personally know that greed (been there, done that). Altho I'm no longer in law, it's cool to read a book like this and get to remember why that is. Nice job, John. Keep 'em coming.

Searching the jungles, getting sober...yawn. Not a bad book overall, but definitely not a John Grishmam type book. Has John found religion all of a sudden?
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Thank you, John Grisham! Review: As a Christian, I found it refreshing to read a novel interwoven with the message of hope and salvation. Truly God's hand is evident in Mr. Grisham's writing, and what a blessing to all of us. Thank you!
