Rating:  Summary: Deeply Disappointing Review: SHAME SHAME SHAME on the publishers of this book for not sending the manuscript straight back to John Grisham so he could finish it - just too greedy - they couldn't wait to flog it as is. John Grisham should use a pen-name if he intends to keep writing PAP like this - it's a betrayal to the loyal fans who expect better quality. If you are a fan of John Grisham, don't waste your money buying this book, borrow it from the library and be prepared to be disappointed.
Rating:  Summary: Big let down Review: It started out strong and slowly went downhill from there and I do meah DOWNHILL. I couldn't wait to finish it so I could start something else. A TIME TO KILL is still his best.
Rating:  Summary: Grisham True to Form Review: Grisham scores with an excellent book which intertwines two plots which seem to be non-related. Grisham's plot development puts him in the forefront of fiction writers today.
Rating:  Summary: Good book, but get one thing straight..... Review: Great book John; no matter what anyone says, you've produced another law-thriller. I just wanted to comment on one thing though. Being from Calgary (which you mentioned in your book) I just wanted to get one thing straight >There are no dogsled races in Calgary! But, it could be funny watching one run through downtown, or down the highway..just do a little more research on that one John, otherwise, great book!
Rating:  Summary: Where's the meat? Review: Disappointing! I'm an avid fan and grabbed the book the first day it was on the shelf. Two weeks later I was FINALLY finished. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the other books that John Grisham has authored. This one seemed like a hurried attempt to put something out. The prison/political sub-plot was confusing and the outcome became pretty obvious. I sincerely hope that the next book returns to the same style of old.
Rating:  Summary: Interesting Book Review: I totally disagree with the many reviewers who have posted before me. Once again Grisham hits the mark with this interesting tale. Who cares if the book doesn't have a "good guy" character in it? I was totally drawn in by lure of easy money being made by the Brethren and the entertaining, bumbling lawyer Trevor. No author is better at writing about lure of big-time money. If you dream about being filthy rich you will enjoy this book.
Rating:  Summary: What happend to the ending? Review: Grisham is my favorite writer. I lean towards The Partner as one of his best. The Brethren had the makings of a good book. It got interesting when the two sub plots ran into one another. However, the ending was weak. However, I will still buy the next one. Keep them coming JOHN.
Rating:  Summary: Grossly disappointed! Review: I agree with every negative comment your customers made. I have read every one of Grisham's books, and I can't believe John wrote this one. It took me a whole month to read this book. I had to make myself finish it. I went to sleep every time I tried to read it. I hope he reads all our comments and does a better job on his next book.
Rating:  Summary: First time "Grisham" reader! Review: I just finished The Brethren, and I really enjoyed it! I have never read one of John Grisham's books before, and I have heard that this was definitely not one of his best. However, as much as I enjoyed this one, I look very forward to reading more of his books.
Rating:  Summary: The Brethren Review: Actually I enjoyed this book. Very interesting topic and characters. Ending was a litle weak, but still a better book than his last, The Testament.
