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.

The Summons is interestingly written. Very slow pace but worth it. Just a few characters and a decent story. What money can do is what the story is all about. As usual, Grisham does not venture into right or wrong of it. Just a good narrative is all that he offers. Good to read. The usual torts and the king of torts also comes in. Somehow at about 80% of the story, you know what is going to come by. The only reason why you still read on is to see how Grisham is handling it. Actually, not a bad handling of the end.
