When the story got going (after about 100 pages), I thought it was going to take off. While an interesting plot(s), the storyline could have been a real page turner- instead it just dies-and the ending was very disappointing indeed. It leaves you with way too many unanswered questions, and I felt Mr. Grisham was just plain tired of writing, and wanted to end this novel as fast as possible. I've truely enjoyed some of his works in the past, but this one I wish I had skipped.
