by John Grisham, Henry Levya
Back in the late 90′s, I worked for Borders Books in Albuquerque,NM for almost three years. This was the time in my life where the reading bug hit me tremendously.During that time, John Grisham was at the height of his popularity atthe top guy in the Popular Fiction market. With books like The Firm,...
This is my first - and so far last - John Grisham novel. I didn't like it, although the blurb sounded quite interesting.

The Testament contrasts the heirs of a very rich man who decides that he wants to leave all his money to someone who doesn’t want it. Troy Phelan, a 78-year-old fabulously wealthy eccentric is sick of living and tired of his money-grubbing relatives who can’t wait for him to die so they can par...
UGH...trite dialogue, contrived characters...unbelievably unbelievable!
