This was my first Grisham book, though I have enjoyed a couple of movies based on his novels. I was surprised that the writing itself was so uninspired. It seemed as though Grisham thought his attempt to arouse sympathy for the homeless would be more important than his actual words. Then he avoided many important issues relevant to homelessness and instead relied on portraying a few unrealistic characters. I did finish the book, so maybe I should give it a 2 instead of a 1, but I was very disappointed. I doubt I will read any more Grisham novels.
