Book reviews (part 1)

A few years ago pretty much the only books I used to read were comedy novels, but as you can see by the following reiews, nowadays I've expanded my book-reading tastes slightly. Anyway, here are a few brief opinions on the books I’ve recently been reading.

The Client by John Grisham – 4.5 / 5.0

John Grisham is one of my favourite authors and while I perhaps wouldn’t have The Client right at the top of my John Grisham recommended list, it still had me hooked. John Grisham often makes critical observations of the American justice system through his stories, but unlike some writers he doesn’t compromise his stories to push his opinions, and instead generally fits his opinions into the story without compromising realism. In fact in some cases his opinions regarding the American justice system are what allow him to make his plots so compelling, and this is particularly true with The Client.

Overall, if you’re a fan of John Grisham or legal based thrillers, then this is well worth a read.
