Summary: It was... was... (3 and 1/2 stars)
Review: Ok, I'll admit it: It certainly wasn't the best thing to come out of Grisham's brilliant mind, but it was a whole lot better than any other person could write. It almost seems as though someone else wrote it; no court room scenes. But rather a president and prisoners and some shady lawyers. But still, you have to hand it to him, he wrote a pretty good novel. An easy read, and attention-keeping. Very daring for Grisham. Even more so than The Testiment. Regardless, an okay book from a great writer.

Summary: ZZZZZZZ....
Review: Sorry John, the book is boring. I really tried to get through it, but it's just a slow, slow read. Characters are dull and there isn't any suspense. Hope your next one is better.

Summary: Worst Ever
Review: I have read all of Grisham's work and I am sorry to say I paidfor this junk. It make no since and I was so upset at trying tofigure it out. I could have thrown it away. Everyone I have talked to feels the same and the bad thing if this was the first of his books you have read, you might think all the others are this bad also. not so. END

Summary: Maximum Disappointment
Review: I was extremely disappointed with The Brethren. The plot was uninteresting, predictable, slow moving and the subject was distasteful and unbelievable. I had high hopes for this book and it is unlike any Grisham book I have read in the past. It is not very well written, has long tangents or descriptions that do not add anything to the book and was not worth the time it took to read it, let alone buying it.

Summary: Reminds me of my favorite author....
Review: John Grisham has done it again. Wow. What I loved about this book was the suspense. And the tension. The only book I've ever read that I thought had more suspense and tension than this one was "One of the Guys" by Robert Clark Young. But I would have to say this Grisham novel is right up there!
Rating:
Summary: Too Predictable (Great Plot, Enjoyable, yet TOO predictable)
Review: By page 40, I had a guess what it would be like. By page 90 I wrote down on a sheet of what my prediction of the ending would be, and told myself how disapointed I would be if I was right. Sadly, the book was so predictable that I nailed the ending completely (except for the 'time for children again in the white house' part).Grisham, keep up your writing, but put back the surprise twists please. I give this book .5 - 1.0 stars.

Summary: Fast Paced, Highly Entertaining/The Brethren
Review: This is a delightful read. Moves quickly and each step of the way is highly entertaining. A detailed look into three convict judges doing time and a scam from minimun security Federal Prison. Aaron Lake, is a new entry on the presidential ballot. Extremely "ELECTABLE", he is backed by the Head Honco of the CIA, their money and power. He has one "little" problem. The two plots come together in a lesson of power, money and ambition. Great characters; you'll feel you've known them all for years. Can't say enough good things about this book. I BET IT WILL BE IN THE MOVIES ONE DAY IF NOT SOONER!

Summary: Poor John ran out of good Southern Lawyer stories...
Review: Have read most Grisham books to date. Most have been predictable but enjoyable. Would liken his style to a grown-up Hardy Boys book. Clean with simple plots, easy to read. This latest output seems like it was forced out, to meet a deadline or condo payment. (Maybe it wasn't his own story?) At any rate, save your money and buy Angela's Ashes.
Rating:
Summary: Ugh...
Review: It appears as though Mr. Grisham -- much like the characters in this awful book -- is too busy spending his royalties before they're received, rather than concentrating on his writing. A poor effort that shows little regard for the reader.
