WE MUST ALL READ THIS BOOK, 30 July 2004
By Goodbye "Mr P" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bird Table (Charnwood Library) (Hardcover)
It's easy to tell whether the writer is up to much from the opening paragraph. I knew this writer would deliver even from thr first sentence. His writing just has that element of true class.I liken him to Scott Turrow because in the main he tackles more than the sterotypical lawyer/police routine. I would put J Davies in the same class.
What he does so very well is take us into a court providing believeable and insightful court dialogue:the whole psycholgy and craft of the barrister is displayed and laid bare. It is truly a wonderful experince to be led by the hand into this new and dramatic world.
I had the sense of the writer as I read this book - he came across as one possessing a very finely tuned appreciation of words, emotions and character.
I liked the way he dealt with the preening and false world of Sally the over achiving barrister, contrasting this with the more down to earth and secure Jeremy Scott - the on the surface journeyman lawyer.
The book is redolent with messages - one of the main themes is that we must never sell our souls for a society that spits us out with no appreciation for our efforts. Never give in to falsity when the love of our family is at stake.
A great great read. I must get all of his others.
Jonathan Davies has mastered the art of writing legal fiction.
