Critic reviews

Praise for John Grisham’s #1 New York Times bestseller Rogue Lawyer

“Terrific . . . inventive . . . John Grisham still makes it look easy [with] distinctive characters, tricky legal predicaments and rogueishly cheating ways to worm out of them.”—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post

“With a blunt, rude, gravelly poetic wiseguy voice . . . Rudd comes across as a kind of twenty-first-century Philip Marlowe.”—Benjamin Percy, The New York Times Book Review

“Deeply engaging and entertaining . . . [Grisham finds] intense drama in the little skirmishes that play out across our legal system every day.”—Charles Finch, USA Today

“Grisham has taken a step in an intriguing new direction.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Here you go again.

Any additional comments?

Once again, Grisham proves that he is not only one of the best writers on the planet, but one of the most prolific. Frankly, you don't need my or any other reviewer's comments. If the title says Grisham, you buy it. Period.

Worth it

Good narration, good short story, keeps your attention. No regrets, listened during a short flight.

OK, interesting

A story or more of a preamble, it was interesting, but not compelling, not a page turner, not a doubt how this would end and I usually have a good time figuring out what may not happen next.

T-Ray

the story was mostly predictable but good for a quick listen. You don't have to follow intently.

Good but

So tired of and concerned by stories that stir up black vs white. Enough! Please
