I am a huge John Grisham fan and always rush to read his books. I am very disappointed with this book. He had a great chance to really delve into the atrocious acts in Sudan that has plagued that country for decades. I loved the main character and wish Grisham had spent more time exploring the emotions and relationships. I was very disappointed with the ending as it really came out of left field and was so completely out of context based on the character development. I am very glad I borrowed this from the library and didn’t pay for it.
