Format:Mass Market Paperback
This isn't the first Grisham novel I've read so I think it's safe to say that this is book somewhat unlike his others. Here, Grisham provides a real page turner that keeps the suspense going until the very last page. The characters in the novel are entirely believable from a bumbling and incompetent lawyer to the trio of clapped-out judges who share centre stage in the story (at times, caricatures of themselves). As usual Grisham takes time in developing the characters and presents each of them in a distinctly coherent way.
I'd truly hate to give the game away but, in short, with a subtle twist near the end of the story you'd be a fool to miss it!

Having read all the John Grisham novels published to date, I bought The Brethren on a Saturday afternoon, when I got home I started to read it and couldn't put it down until I had finished early on Sunday morning. Two seperate stories that intertwine and come together, to create a story that holds you captivated until the final page. All his books are good but I think this is his best yet, I highly recommend it, if you like legal and political thriller you will not be disappointed.

A Decent Holiday Read 17 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This isn't Grisham writing with passion; he's filling his time before embarking on another, better, idea, it seems. Having said that though, the premise of the story is an interesting one and, while the tale gets lost as the author indulges himself in his knowledge of Presidential primaries (and judging from the 2004 race Grisham does know of what he speaks), there are just enough confrontations and discoveries to keep a Grisham fan turning the pages until the - disappointing - end.

Prescient or far-fetched?
The opening has a highly original scene, consisting of a sitting of an informal court inside a low-risk federal prison. Read more

A brilliant read!
This is the first book that I've read by this author, but it will certainly not be the last! A well written story with a lot of tension and suspense. Read more

Great writing, interesting premise
I first read this novel when it was published in 2000. It was the first novel by Grisham that I ever read, and it set me on a two-month-long Grisham-marathon. Read more

Lack-luster and unentertaining
Once again Grisham writes about but fails to confront prejudice in this somewhat lack-luster novel about a trio of imprisoned judges whose scam blackmails rich gay Americans. Read more

John Grisham Novels
I've read approximately 90% of John Grisham's novels as he always tells a good story with an ever-winding plot. This is a prime example of that.

The Brethren - John Grisham
I am a great fan of John Grisham but I did not enjoy this book as much as I have the other books I have read. The plot is quite clever but it is not gripping - i.e. Read more

Totally absorbing read
My favourite book from this author. Very believable characters, even if you don't warm to any of them -- even the blackmail victims for the most part aren't particularly likeable... Read more
