Ladataan... The Rooster Bar (2017)Tekijä: John Grisham
![]() Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. ![]() ![]() Voilà un roman qui est profondément amoral malgré la volonté de positionner trois étudiants comme justiciers d'un système capitaliste pourri qui abusent de jeunes cherchant à se faire une place dans le vaste monde. Ça ne marche pas: Mark et Todd sont roués, ambitieux et sans morale; Zola se laisse facilement embobinée par leurs combines - je ne les ai pas trouvés particulièrement attachants. L'intrigue, par contre, malgré les habituels coups fourrés et deux-ex-machina, est bien menée et on se prend au jeu des trois jeunes. Les dernières pages, une course contre la montre, sont particulièrement bien écrite et j'ai bien aimé le décor inédit du Sénégal. Somme toute une lecture agréable, parfaite pour l'été À noter que la traduction est excellente. The book focuses on 3 actual occurrences. 1. The scamming of students entering subpar law schools using government loans that can’t possibly get paid back. 2. A fictitious bank illegally open accounts in it customers name like what Wells Fargo did. 3. People in the US illegally who are then deported back to countries they haven’t lived in for years. This could have been a great book if it had stuck to reality, but it just became too far fetched. So read for a bit of escapist entertainment, rather than for reality sake. It's difficult not to enjoy stories by Grisham. Characters we can relate with, plots filled with surprises and pacing done to perfection. Similar in some ways to The Rainmaker, he twists the concept using frustrated students attending a questionable law school. Early in the story the trio decides to form as an illegitimate firm praying on drunk drivers and insurance cases. As the plot unwinds they elevate their game taking risks seasoned criminals would avoid. As momentum builds so does the danger and with it a frantic level of page turning! While not his best book, it's certainly one worth reading, especially if you've encountered shady law schools! ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Distinctions
Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam. But maybe there's a way out. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
