Summary: Dull, moronic. They killed trees for this?
Comment: Kid knows something that bad guys want kept quiet. But the bad guys aren't going to kill the kid to keep him quiet - only if he talks (at which point killing him doesn't do any good???) The premise is completely backwards.
The kid's lawyer is such a moron, she can't figure out that if the kid's testimony is preserved through deposition, there's no point in the bad guys killing him... but that as long as the kid is the only one with the information, killing the kid is a viable alternative.
The whole book is all about the "struggle" to decide what to do. A logical and more entertaining approach to the plot would have been:
Page 1: Kids learns secret.
Page 2: Kid testifies to facts under oath.
Page 3: THE END
...Which only tells you how horribly bad this book is. Such a HUGE logical flaw, should have sent the author in search of another plot, but instead he blunders through an homage to bad writing, apparently unaware such gross inconsistencies reduce a book to mere wasted paper.
Dumb! Dumb! Dumb!
Do NOT waste your time or your money.

Summary: Great Story
Comment: The Client is my second reading from John Grisham, and I was a bit disappointed. However, after the incredible novel "The Firm," any reading by this spectacular author seems second-class. The client was, however, a great read. It was, like the Firm, an incredibly hard book to put down. The main character, Mark, has witnessed a suicide, and prior to the killing, the victim told Mark something that he should not have told any sole. Even though Mark has a loving, caring mother, the reader cannot help but notice a mother-son relationship develop between Mark Sway, and Reggie Love. Reggie is one of those characters who you love to read about, and who give you the hope that there are truly some people out there in our crazy greedy world, who do not care about money, and just want to help people. Another main character, Roy Foltrigg, is someone you "love to hate." It is with these vivid and realistic characters that make this book, and probably any other book by John Grisham great. Read it, and you will not be disappointed.

Summary: one of my favorites
Comment: This book is one of my favorite books written by Grisham. I have read several of them. The book was made into a movie and I enjoyed watching it more than once. I think what I like is that an eleven year old boy ends up having a certain control of the situation for the most part. He hears a secret from a mob lawyer who commits suicide and now the law wants his testimony but the boy is scared for his family if he tells what he knows. He finds a woman lawyer who has her own personal problems, but decides to help him. Both the mob and the law end up searching for him and there are many thrills and suspenseful events before the story is over.
