The Judgment of Thomas

Rating:
Summary: A Brilliant Pageturner!
Review: I could not put this book down. 'The Judgment of Thomas' is so many things -- courtroom drama, war epic, psychological thriller. What's amazing is that author Howard Stern is clearly a master of each genre. All of the characters are memorable, especially the title character Thomas, who is one of the most compelling creations I've read in recent fiction. Stern takes you deep inside this fascinating, maniacal character's head and you won't be able to put the book down until you see just what he is ultimately capable of. This is a completely fresh take on the legal thriller. Stern immediately proves he's worthy of comparisons to Grisham and Turow. Highly recommended.

Summary: Thrilling Read!
Review: My friend told me this was like Grisham, but I found it even better than his best books. Author shows what kind of damage a psychotic judge can do. Edge of your seat legal thriller that builds to a shocking climax.
