I enjoyed it immensely. I thought the plot and the premise were better than average. The characters were convincing and their motivation plausible. Up until the last 40 pages, I was loving this book. When I am truly enjoying a book, I notice that I never look to see what page I'm on, constantly trying to figure out how many more pages I have to go. That was the case with this book. The pages just flowed. Now, I'm not stating that this is any kind of a masterpiece....but in this genre it was satisfying to me. This is one of the first times, however, where I felt that the author could have used another 100 pages to finish the book. It's almost as if he got a call from his publisher telling him that he needed the book tomorrow and Grisham had to tie all the loose ends up immediately. I found this part a total disappointment and would have given it 5 stars otherwise. After reading 366 pages, I felt I deserved a more drawn out and justified ending.
