![]() ![]() ![]() I even resisted the temptation on more than one occasion to skip sections as started repeating itself. There was no big surprise at the end which I was hoping for to bring this lackluster book up a notch, just a predictable explanation to the whole scenario. I really didn't get to root for or even relate to Jake, and the fact that his personal life was so hidden seemed strange. I admit this is a review for the Unabridged Audible version of the book, that had some cliche Afro-American voices and all the usual redneck-ness that readers throw into Grisham's books, but the story itself was just too slow. ![]() Firstly, I didn't see why this had to be set back in the late eighties (did so many people really have car phones back then?) and although I read A Time to Kill, to which this has been dubbed a sequel of sorts, I read it more than 15 years ago and remember it being a lot better than this. For me personally, it would actually be a 2.5-star rating as Grisham's writing is commendable, but he has written so much better stuff. ![]() Now, I know I'll probably get bashed for this, but this is one boring read. ![]()
