Good lawyer book.

Irving writtes good lawyer stuff. Good plot, good court drama, but what makes the book better are Irvings characters. Warren Blackburn is a sympathetic hero. You root for him to win the case. Warren's character matures as the novel progresses and the reader is invited along. I really enjoyed Warren's personnal development. Johnnie Faye Boudreau is mischevious Texas style. The perferct antagonist to Blackburn. And I like how the book ends. William Safire called this book "satisfying" and that it truly is.

A great courtroom novel

This is one of the finest courtroom novels I've ever read. Sol Stein, in his book, STEIN ON WRITING, mentions it as a flawless example of use of point of view. Never mind that -- it's a great read! It captures the seamy side of the legal life, it has excellent characters, and I couldn't put it down! Much better than anything that Grisham has ever written. Clifford Irving is a winner -- just about everything he writes is 5-star. One day he'll be recognized as one of our best novelists.

YOU HAVE GOT TO READ THIS!!!!!

I can't believe that noone has reviewed this book. I have read it several times and recommend it to anyone who likes to read.
