Deerskin

Though there is to be learned here about certain circles of vulture lawyers, the reading became so dreadfully tedious after a while, I just skimmed thru. I had read The Runaway Jury in the past. Quite technical also but a better read

Though this novel kept me reading, it got a very sour taste. The tension mounts as it goes into what felt a very bleak world. There is no light, no beauty, no poetry at all in the life of the protagonist neither around her. And mostly it would kill any desire to write. I kept thinking that the authors of the past, the good ones, the classics, likely never went about writing in the spirit -or lack of- described in this book, as being the prevalent one in the publishing industry.
