The Appeal

The latest by the Author who has 19 Best-sellers under his belt is not so impressive. The tag line 'Every verdict comes with a price' is good enough for a Grisham fan to pick up the book. It opens very strongly with a very strong plot. Remember the movie 'Erin Brockovich', one part of the book is based on the class action shown in the movie.

The book is divided into three parts which go into detail and are loosely linked with each other. Sticking to the plot is something which is not found in The Appeal. The author has gone into detail with all the three parts, of which the best being 'The verdict'.

What the author is trying to potray through this book is 'how easy it is to get elected as a judge of a supreme court of a state and reverse the verdict '. Here is where he has made the mistake of deviating from the plot.

He could have stuck to the plot without going into too much detail of The Campaign.

The ending is absolutely medicore. Chetan Bhagat's 3 mistakes... ending was better.

It is a one time read for a die hard Grisham fan but not worth putting it in your book-shelf
