by John Grisham
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.

This is my first - and so far last - John Grisham novel. I didn't like it, although the blurb sounded quite interesting.
