5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent writing, May 19 2004

By

Michael Bird "Michael S. Beverly" (Yorba Linda, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Presumed Innocent (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars At the top of legal thriller chain, Mar 13 2003

By

Paul Skinner (Manassas, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Presumed Innocent (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, Jan 31 2003

By

JC "JC" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Presumed Innocent (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.
