This was my first John Grisham novel, so i wasn't sure what to expect and so i kept an open mind. However, i soon found out that this book was boring. The characters weren't developed, there was too many courtroom details, and some of the plot was just a bit unbelievable. The only thing that kept me going until the end was to see Fitch's reacation to the verdict.
Throughout the book the lawyers would state that they wanted things to move along in the court house because the jurors were getting bored - well maybe JG should have cut out at least 100 pages for the readers! If imaginary characters were getting bored, imagine the live reader!
Borrow this book from the library if determined to read it. That way there's no money lost - just some time :)
