The Appeal
John Grisham sometimes falls into the trap of having bad characters be too bad, and good characters be too good. The characters in The Appeal were rather flat. Well, hell, they were flat. No character development whatsoever.However, Mr. Grisham also knows his shit when it comes to legal stuff. I dislike big business. I dislike politics. I hate big business putting its interests into politics. The money that controls the system is a disgrace to democracy.This book touches on so much that I hate about the system. If only poetic justice happened more often in real life!
