The Street Lawyer

So I rate a lot of books with four to five stars? Why? Am I easy to please? Maybe, but I also tend to put down books that don't move me in some way. But The Street Lawyer is maybe a six or seven star book. What a story. From the hostage episode with DeVon “Mister” Hardy, to the tragic story of Lontae Burton and her children, from Mordecai Green and his team, to the less likeable denizens of Drake & Sweeney, Grisham never lets up. But the story builds and grows at a reasonable pace. How many writers can move slowly and still be gripping and capture a reader's interest? Grisham does here. This is a fantastic book. Many thanks to the writer for giving us this compelling journey of a read.
