Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
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 --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

Product Description

Mark Sway is eleven and he knows where a body is hidden. If the FBI can find it they can prove it is a Mafia murder. Mark wants to tell the truth but he also wants to stay alive. He employs a lawyer who must protect him from both the law and the killers. Not an easy job but luckily she has a very clever client!

A powerful and original best-seller, The Client is Grisham's fourth legal thriller. It is also a film starring Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book but could have been considerably shorter., 7 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Client (Paperback)
The Client is a worthy read with an intriguing, thought provoking plot. The book manages to keep the readers attention well throughout and culminates in a predictable but exciting finale. I was again hooked after another of Grisham's legendary first chapters and consumed the book in a week. My only complaint is that Grisham placed too greater emphasis on description often holding up the story's flow. As a result I often found myself skimming pages in the middle section and feel that the book could have been significantly shorter. I have, therefore, given it four stars as opposed to its easily achievable five. However, don't let this deter you from reading it, as it really is a classy book. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another hit from Grisham, 18 Jul 2005
By Anna Heelas "A Heelas" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Client (Paperback)
'The Client' is my favouraite Grisham novel. It is a gripping tale, this book is excruating to put down!

While two young boys are in the woods, a man who knows crucial information about a murder investigation tries to kill himself. The eldest boy Mark, a very mature child, tries to stop the suicide and suffers for it. He learns too much information and before long, he has the FBI hounding at his door whilst being attacked from the other side by the mafia. Luckily he stumbles over a lawyer who helps him crawl his way out of the mess.

This is an inspiring and touching read, perfect for holiday or just entertainment. Although all works by Grisham are fantastic, I would say this is one of the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Someone is always watching you, 16 Aug 2006
By G. M. Buchanan "Page marker" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Client (Paperback)
Firstly I must admit to being a John Grisham fan,I have read nearly all of his work. This ranks amongst the best. Two lads are witness to an attempted suicide. One lad attempts to stop the suicde and ends up being caught and dragged into the car with the man. As the fumes fill the car the man tells the boy he was a lawyer for a mafia hit man and proceeds to tell the boy things the FBI would like to know. The boy gets out the car and the man kills himself. It is now a fight between the hit man and the FBI as to who gets control of the boy. A great story full of tension,twists and turns and it will keep you turning pages long into the night. I would have gave it five stars but no one is perfect - although this comes close.
