Summary: Wow
Review: WoW! This book is amazing. And Grisham wrote because he wanted to, not just because of his contract. READ THIS BOOK. I recommend this book to everyone, especially people who like John Grisham's other works.

Summary: One of his Best!
Review: I have always been a fan of Grisham, and his new book hasn't let me down. I was a little disapointed with his last book, and thus was apprehensive while picking up this one. I shouldn't have been, as Grisham has come back with one of his best, and I would say that it is up there with The Client, The Jury, and A Time to Kill (all favorites of mine). If I had one complaint, it would be that I read it two days.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This is the same story that Mr. Grisham has told before with a different cast. A young lawyer sells his soul for money. He rises like a rocket from nowhere to become the "King of Torts". His subsequent fall is no less than meteoric. The ending is less than satisfying. Wait for the paperback.

Summary: JUST MORE OF THE SAME
Review: Once again, we meet an idealistic young lawyer who is thrust into a world of intrigue, danger, and whole lot of two dimensional characters. Grisham has trotted out different variations of the same lawyer in virtually every book he as done. His newest incantation sees the hero, Clay, feeling as if there might be something a little better out there for him...but no, there is a big tired conspiracy from a big evil drug corporation to uncover first followed by some cliched soul searching dimension. After reading The Summons I was really hoping for hit here - something to recapture the glory days of The Firm, but this book isn't it.

Summary: Not the best Grisham, but certainly not the worst
Review: just finished it today, and it was a good read. my all time favorite grisham is the testament, and this is not nearly that good. but it's better by far than the brethren or painted house or the summons. i kept reading just to find out what was going to happen to clay: you know that he's going to have a crisis strike, but you can't imagine which of his problems is going to be his downfall. he seems like a good guy who gets caught up in his desire to be wealthy. so, your basic grisham book. worth the time if you enjoy him, but not his best.
Rating: 
Summary: never again Grisham
Review: After reading the worst book of my life, A Painted House by this author, I have vowed to never turn over another penny for his meaningless, pointless stories. Good reading all.

Summary: Sue them all!
Review: If you ever wanted to know some details about class-action lawsuits and the lawyers that generate them, this book is for you. You get to see how a tort case can transform a young, poor, public defender into a super wealthy head of his own law firm, specializing in suing large companies for millions of dollars. You also will see the sleazy side of this business and the damage these lawsuits cause to the community. I enjoyed this novel for the most part and finished it in 24 hours. The pacing is quick, and there isn't that much legal mumbo-jumbo included. I guess the main message is "Don't kill the golden goose."

Summary: A quick read, keeps the pace going
Review: I don't consider myself a huge Grisham fan, but I was looking forward to this book. From page 1, it kept me going and I ended up reading the entire book in one night (though it was a late night). A lot of the characters in the book were similar to those of others in previous Grisham novels; as were the themes of greed and ethics and where it gets you. Not my favorite Grisham tale, but a good read none the less.

Summary: A Book of Legal Drama and Excitement
Review: The King of Tarts is very much what we have come to expect from legal beagle John Grisham (The Firm, etc). I wonder how long until this becomes a movie starring Matt Damon or someone else? Probably not long!
The books begins with your standard "lawyer practicing law and not yet totally cynical" lawyer, and it ends...well, I won't give that away!
The twists and turns are predictably unpredictable, and this book was worth reading for sure. I would reccomend this book to fans of JG (The Firm, etc), but if you have never read one of his books before, I would suggest starting with one of his earlier works like The Firm.
