Query: IF YOU'VE READ ONE GRISHAM, YOU'VE READ THEM ALL

This is the latest in Grisham's growing list of formula novels. The plots are predictable, the characters stereotypical, the lessons preachy. He has clearly lost the magic of his earlier books. The real cliffhanger for me is what Grisham will do with all those millions of dollars he earns from all the readers who were subjected to his personal "give it all away and follow me" manifesto. If he wants to provide a realistic view of lawyers, I suggest he visit some who are actually in the trenches and who actually know where the courthouse is. John Grisham is no lawyer, and he is now nothing more than a mediocre book-of-the-month-club author.
