Summary: Grisham must have written this over a weekend
Review: John Grisham's latest novel (and I say that tounge in cheek) is a sloppily written borefest that preaches that the liberal way is best and the conservative way leads to homelessness and demoralization. It is unrealistic that the lead character would chuck his great career and dedicate his life to the homeless. I think Grisham writes his novels too fast and I think it leads to unentertaining stories.

Summary: An interesting, intellectual, read.
Review: John Grisham does it again with his premier release of 'The Street Lawyer'. I have to admit, it was the first novel I've ever finished in one day (Actually, I'm a pretty slow reader). One good thing about the novel was the ending wasn't like 'The Partner' (I guess Grisham realise it after reading all the reviews here about his crappy ending ^_^ ).The story of a lawyer on the road of fame and fortune, and then became a defender of the homeless is quite touching. I have to admit though, I agree with some of the other reviewers who said that the ending was a bit predictable (on the other hand, all novels' endings are predictable ^_-+ ). Nevertheless, it's good for those who wants to read about life on the streets of America and the injustice that was done upon them. Keep up the good work, Grisham. Please try to write something more 'gripping' and upbeat.

Summary: offers new insight into the legal world.
Review: This had been a long wait for me, and the rewards weren't satisfying. I sure missed the page-turner qualities of his earlier books. Notwithstanding the fact that this book seems to steer in a far more serious direction and therefore needs to be viewed in an equally different light.

Review: An enjoyable read, but lacking some of the intesity of some of his previous novels. If you like Grishom novels you will probably enjoy this one as well.
Rating:
Summary: His worst yet.
Review: A not particularly interesting novel which preaches for the homeless but portrays them as the most unappealing group of people imaginable. Why would anyone give up his career to help people who won't help themselves and make life dificult for those who try to help them? The scene at the beginning in which a man with a gun holds a roomful of lawyers hostage was appealing, however. It would have been vastly improved if he had shot them all!

Summary: A favorite-- the best Grisham yet.
Review: This one's a keeper indeed- thoroughly intriguing, captivating- a real page- turner. Unlike some of the other Grishams- where you can't make yourself pick 'em up- I could'nt put this one down. A real find if you're looking for a good read. PS- I think the world could use a REAL Mordecai Green- to those who've read it.

Summary: dissapointing to say the least
Review: this book had some good points but they were certainly outnumbered by bad points. his previous book i thought were all exceptional. But this latest effort seemed less like a suspense driven novel and more like a political campaign saying that "i really am a nice guy". i hope his next book will be as good as his prevous seven.

Summary: the best grisham book ever
Review: grisham strikes again with a thriller that starts right from the beginning. again like in the partner, grisham made the ending just a tad bit CHEESY!!!!!!!!!
Rating:
Summary: Grisham at his worst!
Review: As a huge fan of author John Grisham, I must be honest in my attempt to sway those interested in spending some time with The Street Lawyer. Very simply: Don't! Mr Grisham has chosen an entertainment forum for his views, however noble, on the plight of the homeless. It does not work. Save yourself time (and money) and chose something, anything else for your reading pleasures.
Rating:
Summary: Great! Couldn't put book down. Passing it on to others.
Review: Haven't read a book for pleasure in a long time and I am glad it was this one. I could feel the fright of the person out of his rim of normal and learning about a new way of life he had only heard little about. Great work.
