Reviews"[A] buoyant, mischievous thriller . . . Grisham writes in such an inventive spirit. . . . A treat." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "Satisfying . . . Grisham [is] at his best when he brings his sardonic sense of humor to the sometimes questionable ethics of law and banking." --USA Today "[A] smartly told tale . . . gratifying and all-too-real." --The Washington Post

Synopsis#1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham's newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that's on shaky ground. Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam. But maybe there's a way out. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no . . . Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready to spend some time at The Rooster Bar ., #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - John Grisham's newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that's on shaky ground.

    excellent read

    typical john grishman story with attorneys at the base. but this book has a lot of different twists. 3 law students decide to become "lawyers" without passing the bar. as you can imagine, problems arise from this. add : suicide, student loans and deportation of one of the 3 team's family all add to the plot. all in all an excellent read for grisham and non-grisham fans.

  • Top critical review

    Grisham seems to have gotten tired or lazy.

    I think Grisham's early work had a good edge. I put this book in the give-to-charity pile when I was 2/3 through it. Something I've never before done. This book lacked sympathetic characters. And it should have been cut by 100 pages.

  • The Rooster Bar is Super!

    I love ALL books by John Grisham! The characters are interesting with a plot that always moves along well. He's one of the best authors writing today!

  • Much Better Than Good

    I read it through the night finished in one day and slept the next. Couldn.t wait to see what would happen next. Great characters. Intend to see if I could do the same at 83 years.

  • probably could have been a better title

    Good book but not a "page turner" like his other books.However, you can't go wrong with John Grisham.

  • Sad But So True

    Another good book by John Grisham. Students now days are dealt a cruel blow by cruel people. Tuitions are outrageous and then to expect a student to get a job right away is unheard of. If the government really wants to help, give all students that meet a certain criatia , grants. That way they are debt free when they finally do get a job. Three smart students learned how to beat the system and stole from a notorious crook. Highly recommended.

    I was looking for this book for my gf’s mother’s for a Xmas present. She is a big Grisham fan so finding and getting her this autographed book was a home run! Thank you!

  • I'm speechless...

    A new hardcover edition mailed to me for four bucks and change, tax included. What could I possibly complain about?...other than my puzzlement as to how they can do it and still pay the rent. I should feel a tad guilty but I doubt Mr. Grisham will mind my beating him out of one retail sale. If you like stories involving the legal system and southern culture you might become addicted to his novels, as I I have. His books are the only fiction I read.
