Summary: not up to Grisham expectations
Comment: Really drags For some reason I kept plodding through the book- probably thinking that excietment lurked around the corner (didn't). Definitely doesn't belong with Grishman's previous works.

Summary: The Appeal
Comment: I rated this book three stars, but only for the first half of the book. When I read the last page of "The Appeal", I couldn't believe it! I had to reread it, thinking, maybe I missed something. What a payoff to a story that started out to be suspenseful and exciting. I, too, felt John Grisham gave me the runaround. The ending was a virtual slap in the face. But, when I think about it, I really only have myself to blame. I should have known the general style of Grisham's storytelling (rambling and over-the-top) when I read "The Pelican Brief" and "The Rainmaker" (which I never finished). Why do I continue to come back for more, you ask? I love legal and political thrillers and each time Grisham writes a book, I keep hoping for a satisfying ending. However, in all fairness to John Grisham, there are a few stories I did enjoy "The King of Torts" and "The Summons".
I hear that his next book is "The Associate". Sounds intriguing...dare I???

Summary: Appeal this book
Comment: I've read and own every book John has written, so I waited anxiously for his latest effort. It was a good read, that's typical, but I felt there were to many loose ends and unanswered questions that you're left with in the end. After he goes through all the trouble to get you familiar with all the characters I think it's only natural to wonder what happens to atleast some of them. I am not an author and couldn't in my wildest dreams do any better don't get me wrong.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Enjoyable, but not sure about the ending....
Comment: I don't want to give anything away, but this novel follows many of Grisham's previous books....A great story, starts off well and then just ends....At first I hated the ending, but after a few days, realized maybe it just makes sense......

Editorial Reviews:
|
In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town’s water supply, causing the worst “cancer cluster” in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it.
Who are the nine? How will they vote? Can one be replaced before the case is ultimately decided?
The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mold him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court justice.
The Appeal is a powerful, timely, and shocking story of political and legal intrigue, a story that will leave listeners unable to think about our electoral process or judicial system in quite the same way ever again.
