But then knowing John Grisham, you plod and soon hit pay dirt! You’re sucked up into an edge-of-the seat suspense thriller and like the hero in the book; sleep and food become ancillary to knowing what happens next in the plot that the hero and his friends hatch in jail and let fly by the skin of their collective teeth. The reward is their freedom, new identities and a pot of gold. Will they succeed and how is what this book is all about. Totally enjoyable!<br /><br />If you have a long boring journey ahead, I suggest you buy the book but not read until you travel – you will be so engrossed you won’t even realize you've arrived. Fantastic! May his (John Grisham’s) tribe live long, prosper and produce more such books!

From the North I sometimes have trouble distinguishing how America both wants government to have extensive power for criminal matters but prizes government staying out of the lives of citizens.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-31295563848848815322013-01-10T09:28:42.535-06:002013-01-10T09:28:42.535-06:00Bill - Thanks for your insights on this novel.

And I like Grisham's work too so it's good to hear you enjoyed this one. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
