"I was disappointed in this book. I have read probably three or four other books by Mr. Turow and liked all of them better than this one. It moved at a snail's pace for me. His other books that I've read are also somewhat slow reads, but are nonetheless engrossing and build to a very satisfying and frequently unexpected conclusion. I especially liked "Ordinary Heroes" for that reason. The language in certain parts where the narrator is a gang member is highly offensive (but realistic I'm sure, so there's justification for it). This book just seemed to go on and on and left me with just a feeling of relief when it was done."

"Who forced the author to write this book?!

This is TOO BORING. Expectations aside, just tell the fking story and not try to give the meaning of every moment in every possible sentence on every single page.

Who forced the author to write this book?! Yes I REPEAT WHO?!"
