Law firm partners Oscar Finley and Wally Figg see a chance for huge financial gain when they learn of a pending class action lawsuit against the makers of Krayoxx, a popular cholesterol-reducing drug suspected of causing heart attacks.
Being new to Grisham, I'm again impressed by his character development. You do get the expected legal procedural and also get interesting characters. Even though they're 'ambulance chasers' and a bit sleazy, I wanted to hear about them.
The pace is a bit clunky in the middle but still an entertaining book.
What a fun read this was. Probably Grisham's funniest book. Not much of the story is surprising, but I didn't care, because I was enjoying the characters too much. It's a Grisham that's just plain fun.
Not Grisham's best, but not bad. Typical Grisham and fairly predictable as always, but that's why I read him.
This was so much fun! It's been years since I read a Grisham book - King of Torts may have been the last one, though that only sounds vaguely familiar. But this was a great reentry. Im not sure if Grisham intends to write more funny books - this certainly wasn't a edge of your seat thriller, but it did keep me up nights reading and I laughed all the way through it.
