From Amazon.com

Looking for a romantic, hardboiled legal drama with a social conscience? Look no further. This audio version of John Grisham's blockbuster The Street Lawyer is narrated by Michael Beck (The Golden Seal, Xanadu), whose portrayal of the similarly named Michael Brock, with his squeaky-clean voice and crisp annunciation, is in perfect pitch with the corporate attorney's Ivy League image. Beck's believable, engaging performance is compelling, drawing the listener into Brock's charmed life and his decision to quit the firm after being held hostage by a disgruntled homeless man. Moved by a crisis of conscience, Brock seeks out the gravel-throated, streetwise legal aid counselor Mordecai Green. Green shows him the ropes, and Brock soon becomes part of the scenery he used to look down on from his plush 14th-floor office. Meanwhile, our hero is on the lam for stealing an important file that holds the secret to an illegal eviction--one that may lead to a murder charge. Faced with a failing marriage, a client on crack, and the threat of disbarment, Michael has plenty to think about as he and Mordecai negotiate a fair settlement for the victims of an inexcusable crime. (Running time: 360 minutes; 4 cassettes) --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Grisham's most deviant story till date, Sep 16 2003
This review is from: The Street Lawyer (Hardcover)
Most people disappointed with this book complain that it isn't the usual Grisham style. Regardless of whether Grisham is making a political statement about homeless people or not, this book is a GOOD read.
Pro bono work is another aspect of lawyers that Grisham tries to highlight in this book here similar to what he has done with other material like mass torts, mega law firms, racial crimes, underaged witnesses etc. Though this book covers a less glamorous side of the profession (which he openly suggests in the book) which might not make it a fast paces thriller, it is no lesser than any of his other works.
This is the most honest and poignant of his works till date.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Grisham is not an interior novelist, Juil 27 2008
Par Gustav (Toronto, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Street Lawyer (Paperback)
Just read The Street Lawyer, The Partner and the Broker. I guess JG writes books that can be made into movies - and they are mostly good movies - and then he writes these other ones. These three stories have interesting characters and interesting issues but the stories are almost entirely undramatic. Sometimes they read like chronicles where main characters get together and describe action which has already happened. There is almost none of the immediacy or visceral thrill in these novels. You might say, fine, JG is writing above the merely crass commercial level of a thriller - he is going "non-linear".

Well, I don't see that as the best way to display his strengths. With The Partner, for instance, I can imagine how straightening the timeline and telling the story as a straight-ahead thriller would make for a terrific novel and would solve the central problem: a main character who is downright annoying in his 'holding all the story cards' thru the novel. I became frustrated and bored in each of these novels with main characters who while aware of their dark, dramatic dilemmas, hardly ever seemed to be really living them.

JG is not an interior novelist. His best work features all the elements present in the these three novels, and make dramatic urgent use of them. At least, that's my guess, not having read the novels upon which so many successful films have been based.
