The Brethren is simply unbelievable. I didn't think I would end up reading such a trash from Grisham. 3 judges scheming a plot for milking money is certainly an interesting plot. But snaring a would be President of USA? And, getting away with it? in Grisham's novels, most of the times the bad guys do get away. It is actually difficult to figure out who the bad guy is in his novels. An interesting read but by the time you are reading both the parallel sets of events, you have no difficulty imagining how the story is going to unfold. It felt pretty drab read.
