When Julia Roberts's character goes into a law firm to ask for a particular lawyer only to find out that he no longer works there and she leaves, that is my old firm. It is an ornate marble lobby with a small stream of water in the middle of the lobby. She goes through a glass door and can either go up an escalator or up some stairs to the reception desk, which overlooks the lobby. The walls are all glass and she can see across the floor into the conference room where the receptionist goes. I had just interviewed there before I saw the movie and was having major deja vu while watching the movie. ( ) (or maybe 4 stars) Excellent, total page-turner. With this one you can see why his books are such best-sellers / made into movies. I read one other (later?) one by him that was pretty awful, so if I ready his stuff again , I'll check reviews first (he's written a million.) I've heard him interviewed, he's obviously a smart guy. I'm guessing he write a book a year and some are "phoned in" or failed ideas. Echoes of my father's influence in my taste in books. Good Memories. Been digging through the trunks of books selecting what I'm shipping across two continents to my new home, found so many by John Grisham, Robert Goddard and the rest of the Detective/Mystery Ratpack. Looking back, I was way too young to be reading any of my dad's books. Then again I was to young to be watching all his cop show Procedurals, this book is literally a core memory. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

The next day America learns that two of its Supreme Court justices have been assassinated. And in New Orleans, a young law student prepares a legal brief...
