The Testament MY | TWO | CENTS

The Testament by John Grisham

Written for entertainment. A book-turner. :)

"An unusual legal story with several twists. A burned-out lawyer has to deliver a multi-billion dollar inheritance to a missionary who does not want money, or all it brings with it. He is changed in the process, in ways he could not forsee."

For me a Grisham novel is an escape. I expect it to be something well-written, but the psychological and philosophical depth is easy to be found. I expect entertainment that is not intellectually encompassing and reality-based society. Grisham's The Testament fits the descriptions without a miss. He is a shallower Michael Crichton but much more easy to read. He rarely expound.

Simple. Plain. John Grisham is a story teller without the complexities of the writers of Jurassic Park and the Fifth Vial. Relaxing. Just plain perfect and exactly what I said.
