Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
With her sparkling voice and superb acting ability, Blair Brown gives an impressive reading of this John Grisham blockbuster. The story hinges on a young boy who gets an unwanted earful of murder and politics--and dangerous secrets about both--from a conscience-stricken mob lawyer bent on suicide. "I can tell you where the body is... the most notorious undiscovered corpse of our time". Just the kind of information most children don't need, especially when the snakeskin-wearing hit man finds out what he knows. Aside from musical cues scattered as superfluously as laugh tracks on a sitcom, the production quality is stellar, preserving the crispness of Blair's voice and the nuances of her excellent interpretation. --George Laney, Amazon.com

Mark Sway, age 11 but years wiser thanks to a drunken dad who abused his mom, is out in the woods behind his Memphis trailer park teaching his kid brother, Ricky, how to smoke Virginia Slims heisted from Mom's purse. He's a pretty upright kid--he's determined to protect his brother from drugs, and he once defended his mom with a baseball bat.
The dangers of smoking rapidly escalate when Mark glimpses a guy trying to commit suicide by carbon monoxide in his car nearby and tries to stop him. The guy is Jerome, a lawyer who tells Mark that his Mafia client has murdered Senator Boyd Boyette and buried him in the concrete under his garage in New Orleans. Then Jerome puts a bullet in his own head. Little Ricky flips out, and so does Barry the Blade Muldanno, who doesn't want blustery U.S. attorney Reverend Roy Foltrigg to find the corpse and bust him. Caught in a ruthless game between the Mob and the amoral authorities, Mark's family has no defense in the world except Reggie Love, a 50ish divorcée who has just turned her life around by becoming a lawyer. Does she have what it takes to help Mark beat the system? The life-or-death chase is on!
Mark has seen a lot of movies, and he sees life in cinematic terms. So does Grisham. Even if this novel had never been filmed, it would still be a really good, fast-paced movie. Its literary limitation is also its filmlike virtue: The Client is a rush.

Excellent legal thriller with a young boy as the center point of the story. Excellent entertainment to spend time reading or watching the video.

Do you believe that in our society a story whose main characters are a 50+ attorney and her 11 year old client would become a best seller and a TV show? I couldn't be more thrilled. Of course, the book had to be good for this to happen and it is. You become a part of the lives of these two characters, worrying with them page per page about what will happen next. The plot twists and turns and leaves you with a satisfying ending just when you think it's not possible. Well worth your time!

This book was well written, Grisham creating a wonderful page turner full of suspense and mystery. But the book got boring at parts, for instance, the scenario when the lawyers gathered seemed rather dry. But the fact that I read this at 12 may add to that emotion. I suppose that it was necessary, and it is rather hard to make lawyers seem interesting. (I should know, my dad is probably the most boring person to grace this planet. And he just happens to be a lawyer. Coincidence? I think not!) Anyway, I recommend this book to anyone, but be prepared for some heavy reading.

John Grisham hat Recht: Dieses Buch ist weniger komplex als seine Vorgänger und vielleicht ist die Geschichte des 13-Jährigen etwas unglaubwürdig - aber mir als... Lesen Sie weiter...

Great Book!
This is one of my favourite books written by Grisham.
I also enjoyed reading A time to kill, King of torts and of course The firm.

Grisham at his best!
I thought this was by far the best John Grisham book although all of them are good. I highly recommend this book. I love the character Mark Sway. Suspense at its very best.

An excellent book from Grisham (as always)
This book is excellent. The plot is well devised and includes a little bit of something for everyone; courtroom drama, compassion, a chase, murder, and so much more. Lesen Sie weiter...
