You’ve already read this, right? Right? If not, get your self to a bookstore or library right now. This is the classic of classic legal thrillers–not to be missed. It is still fabulous and surprising and gorgeously crafted.
This is my favorite Scott Turow novel. It’s much better than the Harrison Ford movie, which is saying a lot, because that was amazing entertainment. The characterizations are excellent. If you’re a fan of courtroom fiction, this is a must read.
It’s many years since I saw the movie. It was good but nowhere as near as good as the book.
I really can’t do much better than copy the blurb and tell you if you have never read this book, get it right now! It’s a masterpiece. Key words: tangled web.

A true classic. I loved it from beginning to end. Thrilling just when you think you have the book figured out, wham it makes a 180 and has you on another rollercoaster. I believe I will reread it just to sit back and remember what good,solid story tellin means.
I read this book years ago, but still remember how much I enjoyed it. I thought the author kept the real murderer’s identity pretty well hidden. There were clues — guess I missed them. The book is well written, with well-drawn characters. I respect the work that went into writing this book.
One of my favorite books.
My biggest problems with this book were that it was written in present tense and I figured out the mystery long before the end
one of the best legal thrillers
His best book
I never saw the ending coming. Remarkable!!
Sadly, I figured out the ending early on, but still enjoyed reading it. It could use some additional editing!
This legal thriller kept me guessing until the very end.
First of Scott Turow’s book I read.
Wonderful beginning to the author’s other books.
Very good.
One of the best legal thrillers I’ve read!
