A Patent Lie: A Novel Audiobook

" This is an early John Grisham-esque book (John Grisham not being worth reading these days). I heard about it on NPR radio and thought it might be worth a read. It did keep my attention; finished it in a day or two. Courtroom dramas are always interesting. "

" Interesting story line, but it kind of plodded along. "

" Nicely done mystery about a patent lawyer, AIDS research, and brothers who just seem to hate each other. Twists in the plot kept it moving for me, and reading this made me want to go back and read the prequel, same protagonist. It's on my request list now... "

" Very good book. Side of the courtroom I had not read about. "

" A good, fast-paced courtroom drama in the same vein as Grisham or Connelly (but not quite AS GOOD). Explores intellectual property and patent law and ethics realted to pharmaceutical companies. I would have preferred a little more mystery and suspense--the book didn't quite pull it all off. "

" I enjoyed this, although found the characters all unlikeable. Maybe if I go back and read the first book I will care more about the hero's angst, instead of getting tired of his whining. Also, there was nothing about him to explain why women flung themselves at him! "

" Great setting in the San Francisco Bay Area! "

" I could not finish this book, it was interesting for awhile, and then half way thru I just gave up, the story line was interesting on the civil suit of a small pharmeceutical company going up against one of the big guys for stealing their AIDS vaccine formula. It was just too draggy for me. "

" Just because Goldstein teaches law doesn't mean he can write a believable story about a BigLaw trial. He gets all the details wrong, which I usually forgive, but his prose was so generic that I was compulsively rolling my eyes. I think I got about a third of the way through the book. "

" Given my job how could I resist?? It is supposed to be fiction so I will let you know if "normal" people would be interested :) "
