I found this book extremely disappointing. Grisham is definitely pushing a narrative here. White deprecation, racist views, glorifying the homeless while portraying success as greed. Starting with the homeless man that asks each lawyer what they have done to help those less fortunate, declining to ask himself the same question. Instead he begs and buys his wine, and gripes about others all the while he excuses in himself what he accuse in others.The mother that is homeless but can't even change her babies soiled diaper... Different fathers for each kid... Society will make excuses all day long for those suffering their own poor choices, and so here does Grisham. It is a farce, the whole book!

Reading the book was hard. It was so dark. But the movie most definitely failed to deliver. None of the characters delivered as portrayed in the book. Charlize Theron definitely underscores what could have been a good movie. Books are always better.
