The Street Lawyer

Rating:
Summary: Grisham is getting lazy...
Review: Boy, am I disappointed. Grisham proved he could write well with "A Time to Kill" and "The Pelican Brief." Now he's fallen into some sort of plot trap that he can't seem to get rid of. Brilliant young lawyer becomes disillusioned with legal profession, gets in trouble, and shacks up with someone at the end. If you've read "The Client," then you know exactly how this book is going to play out by page 40. And he even managed to abridge the plot from "The Client." I guess I'm going to have to look for another source for legal thrillers because this one bored me to tears.

Summary: Good, but not his best
Review: Grisham does a good job, but the book isn't as good as his earlier ones. Seems as if he isn't writing for the pleasure anymore, but because they are in such high demand.

Rating:
Summary: too much sociology andtoo little mystery
Review: This book is by no means up to the usual Grisham standard.After a good start it rapidly goes down hill as we hear the usual blather about the downtrodden and the story gets lost in a cloud of selfrecrimmination. The ending is contrived.

Rating:
Summary: I was thoroughly disappointed
Review: I have read every book that John Grisham has ever written and this one will be my last if the rest are like the Street Lawyer. When I finished the book I wondered why I even took the time to read it. The story had no depth to it whatsoever. I hope John got the "bad one" out of his system and gets back to writing what he is good at.

Summary: Pure trash
Review: Grisham has really sold out, on this one.Now I know why best selling authors don't win anything!

Summary: fair
Review: This is probably my 6th Grisham book. I was somewhat disappointed. It was interesting at the beginning and his writing was good. But there was such minimal plot! It started sounding a little preachy. Needs to get back to courtroom lawyering for his characters.

Summary: Not his best work
Review: I was very dissappointed in this latest work I have read everthing he has written and I feel that he just wrote this book to write a book When I got finished reading this book I felt like I had been cheated. It felt like I never really knew the characters.

Summary: Not of his best work
Review: John Grisham has make us feel secure that every book we get from him, it would be a no-put-down and thrilling book, and hoping to see the movie to laugh at all the details missing. This book does not, at some times it gets a little easy-to-put-down. I am still waiting for his next book and that he'll return to his status.

Summary: His worst novel, although it did have some good parts in it.
Review: Well, I am a big fan of John Grisham, and I have read all of his novels. I enjoyed all of his previous novels, but the Street Lawyer was not as amusing. First of all, I would like to know what kind of lawyer would want to leave his high-paying job and work for homeless people instead. And I was annoyed by how Grisham kept on saying that it's not the homeless people's fault that they are homeless. But it is their fault! They are too lazy and depend on the gov't too much. But our gov't already spends too much money on these lazy people and wastes our tax dollars! I would recommend the Chamber instead. It is a much deeper book, and the bad person actually dies in the end. Sorry Mr. Grisham, but this book was too liberal for me.

Summary: Feel the world of Homeless
Review: Though the book gives the depth of understanding the way the life of the homeless people live . more emphasis should have been on courtroom settlements in lieu out of court ones.overall the book was good.can be read
