Book Reviews of The Testament
Book Review: Grisham is growing
Summary: 5 Stars
The editorial review concluding classic Grisham is shortsighted. The venture into the Patanal is a new foray for Grisham, one that adds a welcome touch of Mitchner or Crichton. Frankly, after his first four books, I concluded Grisham had become too pedestrian for consideration. My good friend gave me this book for Christmas and I am more than pleasantly surprised at the increase in scope. His handling of the relationship between the missionary and the lawyer was stirring; and the personal growth thereafter of the lawyer, miraculous. I loved this bit of very positive mixed with the negative of the inheritance squabble. It allows the reader to reevaluate his/her own values.Book Review: A Multi-layered Story: the deeper you go the better it gets
Summary: 5 Stars
As with many things in life, this story is hardly 2 dimensional. People either loved the story, or hated it. Some of the readers who gave this book a low rating were turned off by the fact that there is a strong Christian theme behind the legal thriller. To most others, it was an exciting adventure beyond the rat race of modern society. As you dive deeper, absorbing each character, you are reminded that life goes by very fast. The bad decisions you make haunt you longer than you wish. Few are lucky enough to change their ways and get a second chance. And realistically, money and contentment are on opposite sides of the spectrum. READ IT. It is very, very good...Book Review: His worst work yet.
Summary: 5 Stars
Grisham, like Clancy, now churns out formulaic novellas that are pumped up with predictable big plot twists that Hollywood would like. There are no heroes in this novel, just a bunch of greedy idiots and third-world bumpkins treated with equal indifference by Grisham. If this book was written by an unknown author, it will be rejected by almost all publishers, due to lack of merit. However, Grisham is now internationally famous, so he can sit back, relax, and churn out knock-off of his earlier and best efforts. For a page turner, try Brad Steiger's 'Alien Rapture', an exciting conspiracy thriller, or ANYTHING by Connelly is better, especially 'the Poet,' and Blood Work.Book Review: Better Then His Last Book.

Summary: 5 Stars
If you really like Grisham for his Legal action, his courtroom battles and his happy ever afters then you won't like this.....however if you like reading books, any books as long as they are good then i'm sure you'll love this. I've always been a fan of Grisham however this book was like nothing he has ever dome before, this was an adventure, it was exciting, moving, the characters were so real. Once i had gotten started i just couldn't stop and i found myself actually missing the characters when i had finished the book. Like i said if you like a good adventure read, with a little bit of courtroom banter thrown in then you won't find better than this.
