APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In The Rooster Bar, John Grisham examines not just lawyers but the schools that train them—in particular, substandard for-profit law schools that prey on their loan-burdened victims. As four classmates stare down graduation and recognise the near-worthlessness of the degrees they're about to earn, the emotional and financial pressure pushes one of them over the edge. What follows is an unpredictable slalom through the world of dehumanising, bottom-feeding legal behaviour. We especially enjoyed Grisham’s jittery jolt of Ocean's Eleven–esque plot twists.
Customer Reviews
Change of focus for Grisham
Those expecting courtroom fireworks and lots of twists and turns may be disappointed with this novel,
But the story and the descriptions of how the legal system works, and people are trained to work in it, is a jolly good read anyway. Great for a beach holiday - just don’t expect it to be too demanding
The Rooster Bar
How does he do it? He just gets better and better! As usual the plot moves along briskly supported by the charachters' use of Mr G’s delightfully cynical sense of humour. This is the second book I have read in a few months and in both the good guys are really quite bad but rather like modern, transatlantic versions of Robin Hood. The reader is transfixed by sympathy for the plight of the principal members of the cast. Almost until the last page one is on the edge of one’s seat hoping that they will get away with it. Come on Mr G where are the next 10 or so?
