Good fun - just put your credibility on hold The popular accusation is that Grisham doesn't cut it like he once did a decade or more ago, and while that's probably true, if this was a debut novel by an unknown writer my guess is that it would be hailed as a triumph and great things would be forecast for his future. I thought this was simply a fascinating story very well told, casting an insight into the monumentally litigious world that is Corporate America, Inc. Of course, Grisham is always at his most convincing in and around the courtroom, and in this tale I was happy not to analyse its accuracy or authenticity and instead just enjoy the wild ride.
For the record, I think this is one of Grisham's best efforts of recent years, in particular for entertainment value.
Nothing Earth Shattering Here, Some Fun to Be Had The King of Torts by John Grisham is an average novel by his standards, probably above average by most other authors standards. The protagonist in this book is gets caught up in the world of mass torts against rich companies, primarily pharmaceutical companies. The sad part of this story is how true it rings. The fact that some ambulance chasing attorneys find opportunity when people fall victim to heartless companies is sad and pathetic.
A three star read, not a bad pass time for a plane or beach. The King of Torts - Review by Mario Baldassarrini I have found this book rather boring - not quite like the other books by Grisham
