4.0 A Civil Action
This is the story of a "civil action"--that is a law suit, a "tort" where a corporation was sued for dumping toxic wastes purportedly causing cancer among the residents of Woburn Massachusetts.

This was a real page turner for the majority of the book. Near the end it stalled a little. So instead of 5 stars I give it a 4.5 especially since it is about real life and very relevant to today's corporate pillage of our world!

One of the few books I read during law school. I really wanted to be a product liability lawyer in those days, so naturally this appealed to me.

5.0 A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr
A wonderful read overall, this book feels like a novel, though it is non-fiction. It was extremely well-written and kept my interest throughout. The outcome was slightly disappointing, though that is what actually happened. I'd definitely recommend this book though.

I read this book when I was fifteen years old and decided I didn't like it because it didn't have a happy ending. It's nonfiction, you idiot child!
