Rating: 4 stars
Summary: REAL GOOD BOOK
Review: This was a good read at times it was a little predictable but a good book none the less

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Arvin flirts with disaster, yet succeeds! Too much brass.
Review: Well, I can say that it was very interesting the first time around. This was a book that I thought could have been shortened by about 50 pages. Arvin loves to draw out the scene, sometimes tries a little too hard to slam his point home, yet makes for an entertaining read.

He takes Henry Mathews back to his hometown of Council Grove, Kansas. His job is to execute a will of Tyler Crandall. It gets much more personal than that! He has to deal with a grown up child in Roger Crandall. But that's not all! There he runs into Raymond Boyd, otherwise known to the people of Council Grove as The Birdman. Birdman gets most of Tyler Crandall's estate, and boy is it worth a lot! He appears to be a loony, preaching in the middle of the park with his pet bird that he simply calls, "Bird". We find out that there is a past and that there are secrets! Sleazy stuff going on in this neck of the woods, let me tell you. This kind of reminded me of watching something Hitchcock style. The suspense is very real, the people are very real, and the situation is all too real!

You can tell Reed Arvin has a message for people, yet not in a way that everybody will appreciate. If you can tolerate little things, then you can certainly accept "The Will" by Reed Arvin. In saying that, and considering his background, he walked the finest line you could, and he still succeeded. That took guts, but it could've been a fatal error! While it is good to have some brass in you, don't get too much, it could weigh you down in the end! When dealing with issues such as these, be certain of the foundation. That was what made this critical. Hopefully we'll see a true masterpiece from a work in the making. But in saying that, I'll be looking for more of his work!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MARVELOUS!!! It's a must for legal thriller readers
Review: What made me read this book: The Will? I didn't know Reed Arvin until he was introduced by Bookreporter.com web site. I love reading John Grisham and David Baldacci books, especially the legal thriller books. When I saw the title `The Will', I said, "Bingo! Here is another legal thriller story!" I went to Amazon.com from Bookreporter.com's link. I read many of the reviewers mentioning that this book is better than John Grisham, which made me determining to read this book. I am telling you the truth. Reed Arvin is awesome writer. Most of the reviewers are right about not regret buying this book but I cannot say Reed Arvin is better than John Grisham. They both are excellent. They have their own styles. I can see the differences between them. I am just grateful that we have more excellent legal-thriller-writers. The more novels, the merrier! Thank you to both of you!
