Rating: Summary: Not his best but not his worst---rushed the ending Review: Testament departs from Grisham's usual courtroom/law office settings. The story unfolds slowly and in detail but JG rushes us into the ending. Did he have a deadline to meet? I think this book will translate well onto the big screen---law jungle adventure. If I were casting, I'd pick Harrison Ford as Nate.
Rating: Summary: Another Grisham hit Review: Of course it was another first chapter shocker that Grisham seems to do in all of his books. It was a little slow in the middle. I really like the book
Rating: Summary: Great Grisham Review: I thought the book the Testament was the greatest book I've ever read. One of Grisham's better books. A-non-stop-page-turner-action-packed- adverture for the whole family. You gotta read it.
Rating: Summary: Grisham Gets Back on Track Review: I have read all of John Grisham's books and was disappointed with his previous book, "The Street Lawyer". I was anxious to read "The Testament" so I could see if he would return to his original form. I am happy to say that he is definitely back to his extremely good original form. This book was well researched and is great fun to read. I found it difficult to put down and I would recommend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Well Rounded Story Telling Review: Some may be disappointed that The Testament is not an "exclusively lawyer novel", I was impressed. The novel is well written. I thought it might be predictable, but it was not. It was a well rounded story. I liked it.
Rating: Summary: Good Starting Bad Finishing Review: The story starts off with good with a lot of funny remarks about the Phelan children. Howeverever Grisham board a lot of his readers in the middle. Mostly due to the long search for Rachel.
Rating: Summary: This book was a great and interesting read. Review: I really did enjoy The Testament and I will have to go out and read his other books. I would love to see this movie on screen. I loved the characters and how they lived their lives. The Phelen children really did fascinate me with their greed and avarice lifestyles and not to mention how they just couldn't believe what the father did to them. Nate, the lawyer was an interesting character as well as Rachel Lane. I loved this book and will be the first in the theater when it hits the screen. Sigourney Weaver would make a great Rachel .
Rating: Summary: Grisham phones it in Review: This book is a complete disappointment. Grisham knows he will have a best seller, regardless of what he puts on a page. As a result, this weak attempt at a whole novel is laughable. Grisham took a trip to Brazil and made it the basis of this dreadful story. Don't bother reading it because Grisham didn't bother to write.
Rating: Summary: BORING!!!! Review: This was the most boring book written by John Girsham that I have ever read and I have read all of his books. I skipped most of the pages wehre character Nate was in the jungle. I could have done without all of that description. I hated the ending. Without giving the ending away, I thought the settlement was unfair.I have read everyone of John Girsham's books and was inspired to complete law school. I was disappointed to read The Testament. It was nothing like the rest of his books.
Rating: Summary: Worth a read. Not his best. Review: Mr. Grisham does craft a great story, no doubt. This story doesn't 'feel' quite like his other novels, but that doesn't make it bad either. Some great narratives. I liked the focus on people's priorities and how they can impact others lives.
