The Summons

Really different from a lot of the other John Grisham books I've read recently. In a lot of them, you've got a main character or villain who is like a genius, they know how to do everything perfectly and they always win. In this one, the main character definitely does not do everything perfectly. You'll have to read it to find out if he ends up winning. I put 4 stars instead of 5 because the story kind of dragged in the middle. The reader isn't given many answers and the characters were just going through the same motions. But I was entertained, and would recommend it!

Age range: 16+
Slight violence, drug references, nothing crazy. As usual, the main issue is it being to challenging/boring for younger readers.

Oh Boy... This was pretty bad. Definitely the worst Grisham I read. I almost cannot believe that John Grisham wrote this. The first three quarter of the book are useless, nothing happens and nothing is important. The last quarter is just a mishmash of other better Grisham's books, with nothing new and messy plot. Me sad ;-(

It was an easy read, but felt there wasn't much substance. Loved John Grisham's The Painted House.
