The Appeal - This week's Bestseller

The Appeal - John Grisham's latest book is a mixture of elections ,business, money, verdict, lawsuit... It begins well, gathers steam and finishes abruptly.
It is a good read but nothing exceptional. A 250 pages legal thriller, which could have gone well had it been just 100 pages. Nothing worth mentioning but a food for thought, what it conveys about the connection between law , politics, religion and business.

The plot 

inspires thought

Book is based around dumping of chemicals into the water of rural area, people becoming sick and small town firm filing law suit and getting a big verdict. It plots well the big business interference with money. But ends abruptly keeping us guessing. You can feel the Grisham touch at some places but he looses grips most of the time.Still, it is a good read for Grisham fans but I wouldn't blame them if they are disappointed with 'The Appeal'.

The Message 

Well given

You learn how to rig elections, pick and promote a nobody and how to ambush him..Opens our eyes to dirty tricks played by law firms to unseat a sitting judge. Grisham as usual has tried to bring out moral issues worth thinking about. That is the positive angle of the book.

After a long break 

This book is a legal thriller coming after a long break from John Grisham. The expectations being high could well reflect on how to the book is regarded. If you just take it in its stride you won't mind reading it. So if you want more best selling thrillers go for The Appeal
to inspire Grisham.
