Summary: The dumbing of America
Review: Let's see for 3/4's of the book our characters search feverishly to determine what department of the law firm did the dead lawyer work for? Eureka! It's the oil and exploration department. How this author has become so famous is beyond me. They use to say the NY Times was written at an eighth grade reading level. Grisham's books are closer to the kindergarten levels.

Summary: 'The pelican became the hero'
Review: "The politicians from the governors down took the oil money and played along. All was well, and so what if some of the marshlands suffered."Years ago I would read every Grisham book that came out. John Grisham is a fellow southerner, born and raised in Mississippi, schooled at Ole Miss. His characters remind me so much of the people I grew up with, remind me of my home. The Firm is my least favorite of his books which is surprising since the setting for that story is in my hometown of Memphis, TN; the movie was even worse since whoever directed or produced it totally botched the ending. I read this book in one day in my backyard. I lay motionless in a lounge chair only moving the muscles in my thumb and forefinger; I've never read a book like that in my entire life!

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.
