Rogue Lawyer

Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Sebastian is a rogue lawyer who is constantly reminding the reader that people want to kill him, though you get the feeling he is proud of that fact. He is self-righteous, sanctimonious, impatient, and overused the word "clown" to describe those he sees as idiots (which is pretty much everyone else). Oh, and he has a pony tail, which I can just never respect. Yet somehow he grows on you and what seems like a serial of cases get all inter-tangled at the end to make a satisfying if not particularly memorable read. It's all basically a rant on the deterioration of the justice system, but somehow it was highly entertaining after all. And a bonus I realized post-read: despite working with miscreants and criminals and being a cantankerous old fart himself, the book was basically clean...no swear words! :)
