Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: This is a wonderful book. It really makes the reader think about whats really important in life. Does money and success equal happiness or is there so much more?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not real
Review: This book is not so good as other Grishnam novels. It is too non - realistic: rich lawyer leaves his company to woork almost for free in the street? I dont think so. Main character is auwfull developed: from rich nobel guy to street lawyer in 20 pages?? Grishman wanted to present homeless topic on his way, and he got stucked betwenn two chairs.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This is the first John Grisham book that I have read.
Review: The book started of good and keep me interested throughout, however I was disappointed in the way that it ended. It didn't live up to my expectations. I'm currently enjoying the Partner now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great page turner!!!
Review: I loved this book! It is so refreshing to read about different people from all walks of life. Rarely, do we see a top notch yuppie attorney with no social morals convert back to being a human that still has a concious. The ending was a little hoakie, but I'll get over it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: mmm...I'm not convinced!
Review: Honestly, I liked this book! I found it involving more or less like other Grisham's books. But the end? John, John....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: If you think The Partner is bad, think again.
Review: I started The Runaway Jury as my first Grisham novel and its plot is classical Grisham. The Partner is ok too. But I just cannot stand the egoism exhibited in The Street Lawyer. It's hardly convincing to see someone on the way to give up big bucks and work for virtually nothing. I am not a lawyer but I just doubt how many lawyers out there buy the story.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Great author. Bad Book.
Review: Even though I am a great fan of John Grisham books, this is surely not his best work. An intensifying beginning, the most unreal ending. Among all of the books he has wrote, The Street Layer is bad. If anyone knows John Grisham, please tell him to write a real courtroom brawl. Not a stupid settlement.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bad Ending
Review: This Grisham novel is every bit as good as his previous books with the exception of the ending. I couldn't put it down, but wished I had before I read the last few pages. It took a twist that left me feeling chopped off. I certainly hope that this means a sequel is in the making. It's the only way the void is going to be filled.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Resting on your laurels, John?
Review: I'm an avid John Grisham fan, and was thus appalled by this exceedingly unrealistic story. There could not be better evidence that time hasn't been kind to Grisham's literary talents.

The main character could not possibly exist for real. No one gives up a marriage and career with earning potential in the millions to live in squalor and despair. I don't care how altruistically bankrupt you are.

The plot is also beyond redemption, based on a trifling little detail hardly worth one's interest or time. Let me sum it up for you: Michael Brock gives up his entire life, millions of dollars, and his marriage just so a shockingly small amount of homeless people can reap half-hearted, measly compensation.

Clearly not in the class of the Firm, the Client, and the Pelican Brief.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it...an eyeopening view into the world of the homeless
Review: As I read this novel, I became guilty, emotional, and angry at how society has treated the homeless in America. The main character Micheal Brock mirrored my feelings, both before and after his eye opening experience. Also, this definite Grisham classic takes a stand against lawyers who work for the money, and not for the good of the public.
