It didn't grab me by the throat, but it does have the Grisham touch of excellence in structure and development, if not in its plot line. The Rooster Bar is one of those that is interesting. Before I read this book, I would have omitted the *almost* from the previous sentence. Grisham's skillful consistency is incredible, a writer so creative and talented that you can depend on almost anything he publishes holding you in its clutches in a cold sweat until its conclusion. Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready to spend some time at The Rooster Bar. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.īut maybe there's a way out.

They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place.

Number one New York Times best-selling author John Grisham's newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that's on shaky ground.
