Summary: Brilliant
Review: Exciting, thrilling, will keep you on the edge of your seat. Read this book in a day and a half. Couldn't put it down.

Summary: 3 1/2 stars - I'm glad I gave this a try
Review: Having grown somewhat disillusioned with the recent works by Grisham, I decided to look elsewhere in the lawyer-based genre. Friedman's Inadmissible Evidence met the need. In the story, Manhattan assistant DA Joe Estrada is called upon to retry a murder/rape case. Friedman weaves together a number of storylines that, in the end, lead to a compelling story. I can't say that it was a quick read. Nor did it necessarily provide edge-of-your-seat suspense. Friedman did, however, pull together a compelling story with sufficient depth and character development to hold my interest throughout.

Summary: Good but not great
Review: I enjoyed the book -- particularly for its true-to-form coverage of the trial process. However, the subplots garble up the middle of the book, which made it difficult for me to continue reading. In the end, I'm glad I didn't give up, but I found it to be a frustrating read at times.

Summary: a legal delight
Review: Joe Estrada has been given the case of a lifetime. As a prosecutor for New York City, he must see to it that Roberto Morales, community hero, must not escape justice for murder.
Battling courtroom angst, personal issues, and racial tensions, Joe struggles to get the ultimate verdict, even as his case hangs on inadmissible evidence.
Philip Friedman pulls no stops in this engaging work of art. There is strong dialogue with first-rate legal bantering; the racial fracture mirrors the OJ case.
Enthusiasts of legal action will find Inadmissible Evidence a delectable treat.
