Query: From the sublime to the mediocre

Like most people I know, I read all of John Grisham's. This one is definitely a plunge from sublime to the ridiculous. From the first few chapters, I had this strange flasbacks of Tom Sawyer, Studs Lonigan and Once Upon A Time in America all slapped together into this dragging, incoherent, disjointed plot, without rhymes, reason or resolution. Some people call it style, I say Grisham should stick to his lawyerly knitting.
