DESCRIPTION:
This book had a really good plot with a slightly surprising end This book had a really good plot with a slightly surprising end. However the tale was spoilt by an over-indulgence of character analysis that padded out the content to double the length than was necessary. A shame as the story could easily have been a five star if it had been simplified, but no, interest waned throughout the reading.. boring love story. Amazon Customer well, for all the hype regarding scott thurow, i found this book eminently boring! except that sandy stern is a lawyer and is the main character in the book, there is nothing legal about the book. it is more a love story or more love stories. the other characters are even more forgettable than sandy.wish the author had cut it down by about half its length.now i am off scott thurow for good!. A great Turow read Timothy Myer I have not read any of Mr. Turow's fiction but did see the movie "Presumed Innocent" a screenplay of his book by the same name. There are as many plot twists as in a Christie or Doyle book. But, with Turow we get a great deal more character development. It was a joy to read to see more elucidation of one of the main characters in "Presumed Innocent". The mechaniations of Sandy Stern and his relationships with his family and all the linkages was entertaining and riveting. I will read more.
"Turow develops a complex, satisfying plot, steeped in law and finance, that turns perhaps too often on coincidence but remains utterly faithful to its deeply probed characters," said PW.
