The Street Lawyer

Rating:
Summary: Interesting and kept my attention
Review: No this not a real page turner, but it was an interesting read. I enjoyed the story's of the street people. I thought the struggle to give it all up was very believable, but a little too easy. All in all I thought it was one of his better book's. If for no other reason it was thought provoking.

Summary: What were you thinking?
Review: When i heard that there was another book out by John, well i was kind of excited, but after the first part of the book i was getting bored and dumbfounded by the how the story was going. This needs to be a learning experience to all. Next time you write a book like this , please put a warning label on it so we will be warned at least.

Summary: 80% captivation 20% "may cause drowsiness"
Review: The book started out with the shock effect needed to entice readers. It then locked you in with the selt belt of guilt (because, even if you bought it paperback version, you had enough to feel guilty about). But when the tears of shame dried, and the heat of the legal battle was to hit the hottest, you could hear the flames sizzle by the subtle truths of the inplausabilities. Maybe people could be this caring, or, maybe, John Grisham was too busy writing his next novel to care for a good ending.

Summary: Grisham's best yet
Review: This was an amazing book that I couldn't put down. It gave me a new awareness, understanding, and concern for the homeless. It also emphasized that there are more important things in life than money and possessions. This was a well-written story with a powerful message.

Rating:
Summary: A vision of how one person can impact the lives of others
Review: This is one of Grisham's best yet. The plot moved rapidly at first, and just when it became predictable, it took a intriguing tack, and eleveates into another realm. I recommend it highly.

Rating:
Summary: A GRAND BEGINNING, BUT A BORING ENDING!!!
Review: ALL THE TALK ON THE STREET PEOPLE, WHICH WAS VERY INTERESTING, EVEN UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK, BUT NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT WHO DID WHAT FOR THE STREET PEOPLE AFTER THE $$$$ CAME IN!!!! THE ENDING WAS NOT HIS BEST!! DID NOT COME CLOSE TO THE THE PARTNER!!!!

Rating:
Summary: disappointing - Grisham can do much better.
Review: It's hard to believe much effort was put into this book - it was predictable and lacking in suspense.

Rating:
Summary: Much more likeable
Review: I am quite surprised by the reviews of other readers here. My biggest complaint with his other books, which were good, were that the characters were 2d at best. I would much rather read a book with characters with some depth. And as for the guy that says he could never believe someone would have a change of heart and dump that job to follow what he thought was right, I feel sorry for you. You must be either really young, or really cynical.

Rating:
Summary: the first, but not the last book of his I will read.
Review: The characters, plot, and everything about it tied in to make a believable, and still good stiry

Rating:
Summary: Well Worth Reading.
Review: This book is not the usal story by John Grisham. It moves away from his southern backdrops and more in depth courtroom cases. But still an excellent book.
