The Tenth Justice

Rating:
Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: Meltzer's book is about the most juvenile, poorly written and plotted thriller I have ever read. The dialogue is stiff, the plot goes beyond suspension of disbelief, and the characters lack depth or even a hint of reality. If I could give it no stars I would. How this book got any raves boggles my mind. Other than the author's personal story of writing the book (being just out of law school, etc.), there is nothing about it that recommends it. It took me over four weeks to finish it because it was most definetely not a page-turner-- I could put it down and not care what was happening.

Summary: I couldn't put this one down!
Review: I found this paperback to be a great thriller. Just who can you trust seems to be the theme, along with dog eat dog. I found the inner workings of the Supreme Court to be interesting. But, the best part was keeping you guessing and wanting to know what happens next. I could identify with the characters, I felt they were all well written. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes non-bloody thrillers.

Rating:
Summary: Irritating, Annoying and Unbelievable.
Review: The idea that a Supreme Court Clerk would be so careless with his responsibility is ridiculous. To add insult to injury the author continues to permit these careless mistakes to continue throughout the book. At times, the characters show signs of brillance and then turn right around and sabotage themselves. I forced myself to finish the book hoping it would get better. It never did.

Summary: I couldn't put this book down.
Review: I enjoyed the book from cover to cover. I had to read it for school and thought that it would be a pain but it turned out to be a really great thrill. It keeps you wondering what going to happen next the entire book. It also has many funny lines for which i laughed out loud.

Summary: the best read i've had in a long time
Review: I was in a book finding rut for a while. I couldn't find a book that captured me like this one did in a long time. Excellent read. I liked the characters alot.

Summary: Roller Coaster of "Who Do You Trust!"
Review: I have read both of his books, I can't wait until he puts together the third. This books makes you look around at your own friends and wonder "who do you trust." Very rich in characters, plot, and pure enjoyment. Thanks for the freshness of your books. Texas fan

Summary: Not worth the hype
Review: I bought this in an airport to read on the plane -- please don't compare it to Grisham. The dialogue is worse than running your fingernails down a blackboard. The plot is silly as well as unbelievable. The characters seem written to make you dislike them intensely. The cover illustration is nice though, and there were occassional passages where the reading was not painful.

Summary: The New John Grisham Is Born
Review: I have read all of Grisham's books, and loved each one of them, and I think Mr. Meltzer might be the one to outdo him. I couldn't put it down for one second. It keeps you in suspense right from the beginning. I would recomend it to everyone

Summary: The Tenth Justice is a Ten!
Review: Brad Meltzer's depiction of the back scenes of the Supreme Court were written in a refreshing dialogue-ish style where you can feel like you are right there with Ben, his friends and accomplices. The reading is quick, humorous, insightful and enjoyable from the first line on page one to the last on page 389. I would suggest you find Meltzer at a reading of his books, and you will find he is as delightful as his books. Looking forward to book # 3.
