The Testament

I was attracted to this book because of the “man at the end of his rope gets reformed” angle. But it wasn't executed very well, and when we meet the heiress at last she seems preachy and judgy; not the kind of person who would inspire change in someone. problem is we needed to get deeper into the characters' pasts and motivations and Grisham doesn't do that. instead, Rachel gives a lecture and he becomes a man transformed. huh.
