Summary: What better a law novel than one written by a lawyer?
Review: For starters , the author is the grandfather of my good friend , so I shall attempt to filter out my biases. However , this truly is a great story , and one of the better law novels of recent time. For those of you who are into this genre , this is a must read.

Summary: The story line was interesting but difficult to read.
Review: I enjoyed this book as far as the story line; however, I felt that I would have had to take medical and legal classes to understand a great deal of the jargon. I had to look up many words that I didn't have a clue what they were. Galvin's age didn't help my perception. I will try a another book of Barry's though, but should probably stick to Grisham, something I can understand.

Summary: Trite, poorly written and mush
Review: I found the book terribly written - and filled with cliches. The hero would be about 70 now and I found it extremely difficult to believe that he was sleeping with Bok-Sahn. The author writes about Galvin as if he is in his 40's and the references to WWII made me pause to calculate his age. I also found his Irish Dialogue TERRIBLE and overdone. Save your time with this book - don't even bring it to the check-out counter.
