The only reason I bought two copies of the Rogue Lawyer is because I thought I had lost the one I had, but it was later found. In the meantime I had already ordered the second copy, so I gave it to my sister to read. However, I have a hardback copy of all of Grisham's novels and have read all of them. As you know, the only book he has written so far which contains foul language is his first, A Time to Kill. That book called for foul language to make the story realistic, but all of his other works contain no foul language because the story or theme of the book does not call for it. It seems that some authors cram their books with foul language because think that is what the public likes to read. I never did like that, but I would read through the cursing and swearing in order to stay with the story. It seems like there is less foul language in some of the books of other authors now. It seem as though more and more people are cleaning up their language, at least in public.Read full review

I have read some really good books from this author. This is not one. The character is not likeable. Actually there is no likeable characters in this book except the unfortunate son. The story doesn't flow. It is more a book of short stories. Very disappointing. The two best books he wrote in my opinion are The Summons and The testament.

To begin, this has a flawed but human working in law. He's an underdog who knows the ins and outs of the law. He will also have his day when the big case that fuels the story's conflict. Whether he triumphs or not may or may not be obvious before the end. Either way, this is only for the John Grisham die-hards. Those burned out by him need not bother.

Bought this for my friend for Christmas and he is an avid reader who adores this author. He was very excited to receive the newest book by Grisham. He read the book within a day due to it being such a good read.

John Grisham is a most prolific writer with a great deal of fact, a little embellishment and a lot draw and interest. I love his work and have most of his books. I also highly recommend the book to anyone who loves to read about a side of life thru the eyes of a lawyer.
