 What a total disappointment November 5, 2008

I bought the book as soon as I saw it in the shops, but right from the onset it was a struggle to read and not at all what I associate with John Grisham books. Don't buy this one, borrow it from the library if you must but don't waste your money!
Boring November 4, 2008
Marion Wilson (East Kilbride)
Very disappointing. Definitely not a page turner unless you just want to get to the end. It felt like a lesson in law, which is not what the average reader is looking for. Hopefully the next one will be a gripping thriller which we know Mr Grisham is more than capable of.
Very poor! - the weakest of all his book October 25, 2008

What a disappointment- I kept waiting for a twist or something to happen and felt cheated when I got to the end and nothing was finished off or ended properly - it felt as if he forgot to write the end. I loved all his other books and wonder if he has lost his touch. I would not recommend it to anyone!
 Familiar Grisham - just not that great August 30, 2008

The last year or so have been troublesome as I haven't had a 'generic' John Grisham to read on my holidays. I fell into this routine a decade ago and it became a habit although not last year as I read reviews of the Pizza book and decided I'd avoid. Imagine my utter joy this year when I discover a new 'proper' Grisham book to chill me out in my first few days of holiday - it was a paperback too so that was good! I'm back from holiday now and have finished 'The Appeal'. It is OK but just didn't satisfy in the way all, well I'm pretty sure all, previous Grisham legalpap books have. I associate Grisham books with multiple plot layers that weave, intrigue and conclude well. This is written around an interersting issue but not in a particulaly interesting or attention keeping way. It just isn't as good and at times seems to insult my intelligence in a way I never felt before.
So to all the others in the Grisham holiday reading club I'd suggest you get your expectations tuned down a bit: if you are expecting more of the same super lealpap then you'll be left a little empty come the (poor but timely) ending.
