Summary: Grisham isn't Grisham any more
Review: There's little chance that with 301 reviews any one will read this, but I must speak out. What John Grisham needs to do is read his first four novels. Ever since The Chamber, Grisham has seen fit to make a social comment rather than tell a gripping, suspenseful story. This book is typical of everything since The Client. The story takes almost 300 pages to get moving and then it ends too quickly. There is nothing suspenseful about the book. It is predictable and trite. If he would just re-read The Firm and go from there I am sure that he would once again recapture many of his disappointed fans. Drop the social commentary, quit demonising insurance companies, the death penalty, tabacco companies, et al.

Summary: Preachy and boring
Review: I found this book to be extremely boring. By the 300th page I was still telling myself "Maybe NOW the actual story will start." But nothing really happens in this book. And, while I respect the stance on homelessness, Grisham keeps repeating the same things over and over. I get the point: People who make money don't give enough to the poor. Get on with it!

Summary: Do not judge John Grisham by this book!
Review: It was with anticipation that I bought The Street Lawyer. I also read the book with anticipation. Every page I anticipated that something would happen. I am considering writing to John Grisham and demanding my money back. The book was so slow and painfully pointless. The Street Lawyer was definitely not the best Grisham. I was disappointed in the beginning by the change in Grisham's writing style. By the end of the book, I had forgotten about the new writing style and I was disappointed by the lack of plot.

Summary: John Grisham's Worst Volume Ever!
Review: I normally think that some Bazookas like pie, but i hate this book! its frontal nasal area is completely nibsillius, and its a very boring Romp throught the flowers of delirium, dementia, and de-duplication, the 'three D's' that most books try, and are succsful too, to avoid!Overall a simian effort from an donkey pony horsey show author, if you think that some terwilligers are just TOO terwilligy, then dont tell me i am a clown with no knowledge of the 'english' language, i think i know that! But, seriously folks, if you like ice cream (and i am sure you do!) then (^) dont pour coffee up your nose!, i cant emphasize (pie) that point enough, cofee is for DRINKING! nose drops are for nose dropping! Sertiwilleger! So dont buy this book, you can buy a stuffed spotted owl instead and have countless hours of enjoyment pouring coffee up ITs nose! Bingo!

Summary: Predictable
Review: It looks like Grisham has gone the way of many authors. He's under contract to publish a book a year - regardless. This effort is far from the excitement and intrigue offered by his earlier books.

Summary: Extremely disappointing
Review: I've always purchased the newest Grisham offering without knowing the plot line, but no more. The fast pace and gripping story of "A Time to Kill" and "The Runaway Jury" have been replaced with the talkiness of social relevancy. If he can get his political conscience off his sleeve and return to being a storyteller, he may once again become one of my favorite authors.

Summary: John Grisham finds a conscience.
Review: What little plot there is, impossible, self serving and just plain ridiculous. The hero (?) could have been at the start of a career,still in law school anything but an overachiever working 90 hours a week. He is willing to toss everything away including a wife because of a vague epiphany even he cannot explain. No chance of life imitating art here. No art, no story,no way.

Summary: EXCELLENT!!! A must read
Review: This book grabbed me from the very first sentence, it also made me think and feel things I should have been thinking and feeling about homeless people. I applaud Grisham for addressing the subject.
Rating: 
Summary: Bearable.
Review: The Street Lawyer was averagely fair. The plots were easy to follow and easy to predict. Worth to read it.
