John Grisham's The King of Torts
The King of Torts came out this week. I am eager to read this one, but I promised myself I'd get through my existing stack of unread books before I buy a new one. I don't know if I'll be able to do it though...I may have to cheat my conscience and pick this one up.
Anyone else looking forward to this (or already reading it)?

If I followed that rule, I'd never buy another book. I have over 300 books in my "unread pile". It definitely keeps a variety to choose from right at my fingertips, but it can be a little daunting.

I've got it sitting on my shelf....I intend to take a look at it at some point. The plot actually sounded pretty good, which is more than I can say for Grisham's past several books.
Who knows...maybe this one will be a rebound for him.

Just finished it. Good book though not one of his best. Still, an average book by John Grisham will beat a majority of books that are out there. Now on to Prey.

I bought this a few days ago I have three books in front of it The Hound of the Baskervilles, Gump and Co., and About A Boy. I will get around to reading it someday.

I read it and found the ending a bit off from the rest of the book a bit of a let down. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book. I expected things to turn sour I felt the ending was a bit hurried with a few things left unaccounted for. A few of the plot points were essentially dropped toward the end, am I supposed to not notice this?

Sorry to bump this oldish thread, but I just finished the book and besides being able to answer the questions above, wanted to complain about another book.
Overall, I thought this book was very predictable and, even worse, by the end I realized that I was basically reading the Firm again. Spoiler:
