Disadvantages: None

The Client is about an 11 year old boy called Mark Sway who is from a broken family and has witnessed the death of a US State Senator. He is being pursued by the FBI whom wants him to reveal everything he knows about the killing and in the meantime the killer himself is trying to get to Mark & his mother and cause them harm in order to stop Mark from talking about what he witnessed whilst having a sneaky cigarette in the woods near his house. Mark consults a lawyer, Reggie Love, who sets out to protect Mark from the FBI whilst trying to shield him from the actual killer who wants to ensure that Mark is never able to talk to anybody else about what has happened.

The book is very action packed and I found myself feeling real sympathy for Mark as he was just a young boy who was doing something silly and found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and now he is suffering the consequences of witnessing a killing. The reader is shown the events through the eyes of Mark and can really get to understand all the emotions that he is going through and just how scared he is feeling. I found the book to be very griping, as I do most of the Grisham books, and I couldn't wait to watch the events of the story unfolding and to find out what happened to Mark in his quest to protect himself and his Mother from all the bad in their lives and how one simple action can charge the course of your life forever.

John Grisham is one of my favourite authors anyway and this is one of my favourite books by him, it's a fantastic read and I've found myself reading it several times over the last few years and I believe it has also been made in to a movie now.

If you are interested in purchasing the book it is available from Amazon.co.uk for £4.99.

I am rating the book 5/5 as it's just so well written and the attention to detail is amazing. It is certainly a very hard book to put down. It's a must read for all Grisham fans & anybody who likes thrillers.

Summary: A highly recommend read by John Grisham.
