Summary: Bad main character makes bad book
Review: "The Capital County Courthouse has more leaks than a pack of dogs with bad kidneys...."This is the first Martini book I have tried to read. Okay, maybe this is just how the main character thinks, but there is at least one of these bad lines every three or four pages. It grated on my nerves. It made me dislike the main character. It made me hate the story. It made me dislike Martini as an author. It made me not want to read any more of his books.

Summary: This is a Pulse Pounding suspenseful thriller.

Summary: Slow start but later ..... WOW!!!
Review: A very good read. I especially like the way that Martini uses little "witty" sayings....The book started slow (about 9 - 10 chapters) but later took off....This was the most comprehensive courtroom book that I 've read to date. There was surprise ending...never thought of this suspect! A must read for those who like a fast build up and conclusion...

Summary: Judge this one for yourself
Review: Another winner from Martini! This time, the Coconut (Judge Acosta) gets in trouble, and our hero, Paul Madriani must bail him out. Not only was I impressed with Madriani's legal skill, but the ending was a real zinger. I was stunned, and I'm sure you will be too. I was going along, thinking I knew who the real killer was. Martini led me astray, with subtle clues, but the real killer -- wow! I don't think many lawyers would have got out of that situation in real life.

Summary: Pleasant book, realistic it is not
Review: Being in the legal field, I have fun reading legal thrillers. The Judge is a fast read and enjoyable but realistic it is not. The main character is an attorney, Madriani, who is drawn into defending Judge Acosta in a murder trial. Madriani throughout the story breaks laws, lawyers ethical rules, and attorney client rules. He would be disbarred in the real world. Plus he isn't quick enough to catch a major piece of evidence that is basically dropped in his lap until the very end of the story. The story moves quickly both in the courts and by reading. Suspending any real world legal knowledge made it more enjoyable. I think a little more realistic take on being a lawyer would have worked, maybe Mr. Martinin didn't have the time to figure out others ways to achieve the same end results but without destroying his main character's character.

Summary: Martini continues his winning streak
Review: For Martini fans, this one doesn't let down. If you've never read Martini, you should start. "The Judge" creates suspense, plot twists and is very enjoyable. I have not read a bad Martini book yet.
Rating:
Summary: The book is really much better than the television movie.
Review: Great characters and a great plot. wow what an ending! I had to read all of it until I ended it. I simply could not put it down! Great plotting through out this great legal thriller. Grisham better look over his shoulder. Martini is simply a great Rival in legal thriller writing! The beginning is what I am looking for and the middle is perfect. The best part is when they put the judge on trial. The greatest work by Martini. warning: Don't start this on any weekend if you plan to read this book all week long. start it on a week day and plan to end it on a weekend!!
Rating:
Summary: Humorous, fast-paced story
Review: Great plot that has new twists and turns as the book progresses. Martini is a master of words and surprise endings...Bet ya won't guess the killer. Enjoy!!!!

Summary: Paul gets better and better. Loved the book.
Review: I didn't think Martini could outdo the twists and turns that Paul took in Undone Influence, but having him defend Acosta was the best. I enjoyed all of Martini's books. Martini has become my favorite author. I like the books with Paul in them best.
Rating: 
Summary: Good legal drama.... Irritating at times, but a good read.
Review: I enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, but sometimes took diversions into redundancy for the reader. I mean, Mr. Martini might have summarized some of the court drama the reader already knew about instead of making us re-read it. The plot was good, the ending, was OK. I was somewhat dissapointed, but, that is what a surprise is all about. I would give it 3.5 stars.
