Yes, this book does have a rough ending. But, this was designed to make the reader really think about the events and apply it to our real world, which is what great literature is supposed to do. I think Grisham wanted the reader to be upset, because when wrong prevails over right, it is upsetting, especially when it could have been prevented. In a way, this book is a powerful reminder just how influential corruption can be, not only to external events, but to our hearts and souls well. This book really made me think about how corrupt our world can really be for the first time. For me, it shows that Grisham is more than just an entertainment novelist, he can actually convey a message in an effective way, and that is why this book is worth reading.
