Book: The Litigators by John Grisham

Grisham does not disappoint. The Litigators is set in Chicago, and has a good cast of characters, mostly lawyers of course, but others as well. When an author does well with the setting of a novel, as Mr. Grisham does with Chicago, it is a bonus. I felt good after reading it. It was satisfying. There was nothing too gratuitous; in fact, it was sweet in a way. It is full of details which make the characters credible with their foibles, their strengths, their focus, their choices, and the big event in this story is a choice made by one of the characters in the very beginning. Also it has a definitive ending, which is one of my personal requirements for recommendation.

The litigators are involved in a possible lawsuit against Big Pharma over a drug that may or may not cause heart damage. But there is more to the storyline than this, and if you like Grisham, you will like this book.

Now to the library where I will need to catch up on overdue fines and then to a movie with Adam: The Grey with Liam Neeson.
