right on time:)
two up for grab:by John Grisham.
,
You might've known this author who has a bunch in bestselling rack:
pelican brief. An ex-lawyer who is proficient in legal thrillers or
practicality.
First book is not anything near his domain of legal matters at all, but
very fun to read and consistent and page-turning. About a retired American
NFL quarterback goes to Italy for a second spring in Football career (don't
know if there is really an American-football-like league in Italy, maybe
just fictitious). Location: Parma.
Second book, if you're into inside of shady legal world, is for you.
About a class-action suit against the 3rd largest pharma company based in NJ
. Main characters are a few "street" lawyers from a shabby small law firm in
Chicago. It goes in detail about how lawyers go about their cases and deal
with court, and corporations etc. It feels very real, and for those
unrealistic you can take with a bucket of cheap salt:) Not a real thriller -
everything has
been clear up front. This book has been a top-10 fiction of someone' list.
If you ask this question: who can make routine legal events sound not so
boring? John Grisham is at least one of them. I understand that after
reading much of his thrillers, you might get exhausted and want to change a
little bit of reading direction. But those thrillers (bump up 5L!) really
turn on you taste on legal system in general... so it's compelling to read
on that round them up in one stone ( or the first stone of a series ).
Worthwhile both for entertainment AND education.
