Would recommend: Probably not, but almost everyone I know has already read this one anyway

This was my first John Grisham novel, and it was an interesting experience in that I really wanted to know what happened in the end, but I was so bored on the way there. I felt like there was so much superfluous action and character development; I just wanted them to get on with it already. I'm just glad I didn't read this before I was called to jury duty because I would have been paranoid.
