review 1: Um, Peacock? It's time u got over urself. U think it's so 'impressive' that u went to Columbia? That may be (to some, not to me), but when u try to be 'impressive,' it shows u to be a parvenu. I felt embarrassed for u reading this book, as main character seemed to be ur alter-ego. The character tries to wow ppl w his degree (bad - did u read the Steve Jobs bio?), tries to 'intimidate' the lower orders by wearing a suit, and worst of all has 'strategies' when dating a woman. States that he knows how to please women. (He barely knows woman in question!!) A checklist, ya, that turns women on. Is this carelessness towards women connected w fact that he HID HIS DRUG USE, ARREST fm his FEMALE SUPERIOR??! Screech -- this plot point shows him/you to be childish, unrealist... moreic, and terribly dishonest! Dishonest to a WOMAN! A high-ranking (female) lawyer wd not have done a BACKGROUND CHECK!!? Not likely! He's a Jerk, not a Turk. It's not the crime, it's the cover-up, fella.
review 2: Yipes. What to say? I really liked how much of the book took place in familiar territory. And I thought it was a nice concept.The dialogue was terribly written, especially the bits in urban vernacular (though I did have fun reading these out loud). To be fair, not everyone can be Richard Price, which I guess is my general takeaway: It's not hard to find a mediocre courtroom drama/mystery engaging but it's next to impossible to write a very good one. less
