If you absolutely, postively have to read this book, get it from the library. Whatever you do, don't pay good money for it. I have read all of Scott Turow's books in the past and found them to be very good. I was really looking forward to this one coming out. What a disappointment! I am over halfway through this book (and it has taken me three weeks to get this far) and it is still going nowhere. I like to finish any book that I start, but I don't think I'll be able to wade through this one. The characters are stiff and wooden. There is not one character that I've run across so far that I even like or could care about. The plot trudges along, with neither twists nor surprises. My advise is don't waste your time.
