Inception

This is my first review on a book and I am not a happy man, writing for one of my favourite authors. John Grisham is  a very well respected and one of the top selling authors. His past works have always raised the bar for more. I was so keenly waiting for his next release when I heard about Confession. Trust me even a $50 price tag did not dether me from buying this Hot Priced book. Walking out a happy man from Whitcoulls, I knew I was going to be on a roller coaster ride of a mystery that will keep me enthralled for the coming few days.

Working my way through the first few chapters, really got the avid reader inside me all inspired. Not the one to keep this book down I began marching through the pages looking for the ultimate pursuit of legal hystericals. My pulse was racing high and the excitement over whelming. I must commend the way John introduces his characters and the stage he set up for opening the book.

But after the first few chapters, I struggled to push myself to read more. What? What happened to the most awaited book?

Well to confess I felt cheated and a breach of trust after having run through the half of the book. The journey after that was boring and slow paced with the same shit being repeated over and over again. Things were too elobrated and very minor details made the reading even more difficult. Random introduction of characters with no real relevance to the subject got me all the more worked up. From a legal expert like John I was expecting more to happen in the court and not outside, but sadly the book does not give equal amount of importance as it has done for the characters. I felt that a 440 page could have been easily accomodated into less then 250-300 pages.

The plot was good but with a little twist it could have been made even more better. This one gets only 2 out of 5.

As a loyal customer, I am still counting on you to deliver better results and eagerly awaiting your next release.
