The Reckoning is a best-selling novel by John Grisham. In addition to Grisham's typical legal thriller, the book was also characterized by reviewers as "a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a family saga, a coming-of-age story," "a period piece", and a war novel.

Review of 'The reckoning' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Not sure why I keep reading him, but I do. The book is broken into 3 parts of roughly 185, 125, and 100 pages respectively. Part I, the longest section, is painfully boring. Part II, a kind of flashback, is actually entertaining, and Part III starts out okay but drags on for eternity even though it's the shortest part of the book. The characters are hollow and unsympathetic and the ending is disappointing.
