Everything was very satisfactory until I realized that the book was in large print, which was not identified until I received the shipping confirmation. Large print was not identified with the original listing.

Until I listened to this audio CD on a business trip, I hadn't truly contemplated not only just how many things in this world that money can buy, but also the lengths the ultra-rich will go to keep their cash. I also hadnt really thought of the behind the scenes organizational structure that COULD be (and lets face it, probably IS) in place to shape the course of our society, from judges to elections.
Grisham sheds light on these ideas of nothing being unobtainable and everything carrying a pricetag. I know these notions seem cliche, but as I said, I had never really though about them on the SCALE that is portrayed in this book. Its a great novel, and while there is no happy ending (and admittedly, the justice's last minute change of heart was proposterous), it was a book that kept a strong pace. Additionally, it was well read, and each character had subtle dialectical nuances that a lesser narrator might've botched.
Worth your time and money.

I'm beginning to think Grisham is about to run out of legal things to write about. Maybe the US Supreme Court next? However, in this one a wealthy businessman (evil!) wants to get a novice attorney on the Mississippi Supreme Court so he can move (favorably) on a specific case. Said case concerns a business in a small town in that state where really dangerous chemicals were being discarded, exposing the people working and living there. Cancers were popping up frequently, etc. A local small office of lawyers (husband and wife) tried to help. Could they? Could they fight BIG money? Read the book and learn who won...Charles A. Reap, Jr., author, "Devil's Game," and "My Friend Sam."

Very good read. True to Grishom his material is timely, well researched and imaginative in his depiction of how big business can organize to fuel and fund its political and economic agendas. It concludes with both a twist and a moral statement on the power and corruption that continnues to dominate politics in our society.
