The Appeal 453 reviews John Grisham
Doubleday, 2008
Excellent gritty tale
+ A rebuttal to the 1 and 2 stars:
Intelligent, thought-provoking, and well-told thriller grounded firmly in the political landscape around us. Definitely worth a read, as it will ignite thought and conversation for a while afterward.
