Review
"Scott Turow's new novel is the dedicated fiction-reader's version of El Dorado: a driving, unputdownable courtroom drama/murder mystery that is also a literary treasure, written in language that sparkles with clarity and resonates with honest character insight. I came away feeling amazed and fulfilled, as we only do when we read novelists at the height of their powers. Put this one on your don't-miss list."
-Stephen King
"Mesmerizing prose and intricate plotting lift Turow's superlative legal thriller, his best novel since his bestselling debut, Presumed Innocent to which this is a sequel...Once again, Turow displays an uncanny ability for making the passions and contradictions of his main characters accessible and understandable.

By Michael Bird
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Having seen the movie a long time ago, and having read a couple of Turows later books, I was very pleasantly surprised that not only did I not feel I ruined the book by knowing how it all turned out I also felt that this book was his strongest story.
Intrigue, romance, lies, betrayal, sex, murder, powerful attorney's and a story with twists and turns, this is a must read for any that are interested in the genre and haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Turow is a master at writing dialogue, it seems to flow naturally off the page and it makes all the characters believable and either likable, dislikable or downright hated.
I would certainly recommend reading this before seeing the movie if I had my choice, but don't skip it even if you already know the ending. The writing here is just plain excellent and I give this one a very strong recommendation.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
One word - outstanding. This legal thriller will leave you spinning with surprise, even though all the clues have been carefully planted along the way. The plot has many turns, yet holds together nicely. It is simply one of the best and most imaginitive novels written.

Format:Hardcover
There are a ton of reviews here describing the plot of the novel, so I'll just say this - anyone who likes mysteries, legal dramas, is interested in the law, has been in court, or just enjoys a good story needs to read this book. It is an absolute classic that launched this author's career. No one knows the courtroom like Turow.

Brilliant
Not only really exciting, but extremely well-written with believable characters. Unusually for a book told in the first person, the narrator was human and flawed. Read more
