raw dour depressing. plays with emotions like no other but whereas in The Judges List the author hunts high and low for a slither of a retributional 'way out' at the very end, here there is none. The gloom of darkness dourness and tragedy just keeps nailing your mind down to the last words.

Terrible read: boring, foreseeable, frustrating. Grisham is a great entertainer, but he does not have any talent for serious literature. I have read almost all his books and this is by far the worst (second worst being "Rooster bar" ).

I gave it a 4+ loved the book, well the first 2/3 of the book but I just didnt really rate the last 3rd. such a big build up for the ending and it was like 'is that it!'
