THE APPEAL OF JOHN GRISHAM

My review of John Grisham's The Appeal, another of those discovered in the vaults of Crime Time when the magazine went to internet only, has been posted on the website, you can link to it here. It's also timely again because the UK paperback was released in November. That's the cover of the original US edition pictured right, which is much better at conveying the nature of the book than either of its British counterparts.

I did do a slight rewrite and addition to update it following the US elections, the latest of the events after which 'nothing will ever be the same', of which I've counted about half a dozen in the first seven years of this millennium. And though my review may seem somewhat harsh about lawyers in general, one has to consider reality, as pictured below.
