"Very procedurally oriented, I kept waiting for some action but none arrived. The dealing and double dealing, mistrust of government with the good guys being as duplicitous as the bad guys give it a uniquely American tone. The lead character, Rob Feaver, is the most sympathetic of the players, but he is the one who seems to have committed the crimes as a government task force investigates corruption amongst judges in a fictitious American city. There are almost no judges who are not considered corrupt or worth corrupting. The main villain remains out of the limelight and is never caught."

“Personal Injuries is the legal thriller at its very best.”
— Amazon.com, editorial review“An exemplary novel.”
— New York Times“Masterful…Personal Injuries is the best work of his career.”
— Entertainment Weekly“In Robbie Feaver…[Turow] has created his richest and most compelling figure yet.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)“A subtle, densely textured legal thriller stuffed with every kind of surprise except the ones you expect.”
— Kirkus Reviews" The last of the Kindle County Legal Thrillers in my collection. Started slow but built as it went along. Another great example of Turow's character development. Not wild about the ending, but getting there was sort of fun. May be more entertaining than Pleadin Guilty. "
— Dean, 2/9/2014" A great legal thriller. Even though its old, the story is still fresh - especially considering what's going on in the City of Detroit with Monica Conyers! "
— Kathy, 1/27/2014" good book to procrastinate from studying "
— Martin, 1/16/2014" Turow is one of my favorite legal authors. here he has Robbie Feaver, a personal injury lawyer who has made an art form of taking bribes. Good mindless read. "
— Joan, 1/15/2014" I have no idea why it took me so damned long to read this book, but it did. The characters were interesting and the plot moved along nicely, but I just couldn't get through more than about 20 pages at at time. "
— With, 1/10/2014" It took some time to get into, but Turow did a wonderful job of bringing the characters -- some of whom appear in other Kindle County books -- to life. Every character had his or her flaws; the "bad" guy was really pretty nice, the "good" guy was an asshole. Stick with it, it's worth the time. "
— Nancie, 1/8/2014" Well written, but way too detailed & too long. "
— Lee, 12/24/2013" I didn't care for the main character and the story seemed to drag on and on. I would have given it one star, but it did have an interesting ending. "
— User3162, 12/18/2013" Pretty good. Court corruption, yadda, yadda. Very, almost overly detailed, more about characters than plot. Good side plot about protagonist's wifes ALS "
— Chris, 12/2/2013" Not the greatest legal drama I've read, but far from the worst. Some interesting characters, with some good sub-plots. "
— Chele, 7/12/2013" A sometimes long story about a legal case with a FBI informant. "
— Paul, 11/1/2012" Ron - 4 stars; Nancy - 3 stars "
— Ron, 10/13/2012" I think the follow up from this book was recommended and I wanted to pick them up and read them together. "
— Cherylck, 4/22/2012" This had enought twists and turns to make it interesting. I don't know if I'd call it believable but it was fun, in its way. "
— Dennis, 2/14/2012" Reading this book was one of the worst wastes of time! It was awful, badly written and hard to follow. I couldn't even keep the characters straight. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Don't waste your time. "
— Lee, 2/7/2012" I have been a big fan of Scott Turow ever since "Presumed Innocent," but this legal drama about an FBI sting operation to catch corrupt judges is just boring. "
— Jgknobler, 12/4/2011" I felt that Mr Turow included too much minutia for my taste. The story wasn't all that compelling and he took over 500 pages to tell it. There were moments I truly enjoyed, so gave the book 2 1/2 stars. I bought several of his books and am hoping all are not so filled with legal details. "
— Rhod, 11/20/2011" Scott Turow does a good job of conveying complex motivations for human relationships. Such a pleasure to read well written internal dialogues of the self aware main character. "
— Anita, 10/21/2011" Thrilling up to the last page. I didn't want it to finish. "
— Merryll, 9/19/2011" My audio book club shipped this by mistake, but since I liked a movie that was based on a Turow novel (Presumed Innocent?), I thought I'd give it a listen. It was pleasant enough, if you like legal procedurals. "
— Logophile, 8/2/2011" The publishers description says it all for me, e.g., "This the story of a defense attorney caught up in a sting operation targeting crooked judges. The story offers intriguing legal and moral ambiguities and surprising twists, but the strength of the characters is what sets this thriller apart". "
— Ray, 7/4/2011" Well written, but way too detailed & too long. "
— Lee, 1/31/2011" Just re-read this book and was reminded just good Scott Turow is. I was all a-dither when he first started publishing, couldn't wait to get his next book - and somehow over the years, fell away. Re-reading this one brought me back into the fold. On to re-read another of his works. "
— Lynn, 1/2/2011" Pretty good. Court corruption, yadda, yadda. Very, almost overly detailed, more about characters than plot. Good side plot about protagonist's wifes ALS "
— Chris, 11/30/2010" A lawyer behind the scenes tells the story of Robbie a fraud lawyer for over twenty years who's a snitch for the government and is killed by a golf club over the head. A must read again in 2011 or near future. "
— Clifford, 11/28/2010" I felt that Mr Turow included too much minutia for my taste. The story wasn't all that compelling and he took over 500 pages to tell it. There were moments I truly enjoyed, so gave the book 2 1/2 stars. I bought several of his books and am hoping all are not so filled with legal details. "
— Rhod, 11/8/2010" Scott Turow does a good job of conveying complex motivations for human relationships. Such a pleasure to read well written internal dialogues of the self aware main character. "
— Anita, 9/29/2010" This book by Scott Turow was very well done. I could not outguess the plot or outcome and enjoyed reading it. <br/> <br/>J. Robert Ewbank author "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'" "
— J., 7/16/2010" Boring. The characters never connected with me and I felt like I kept waiting for the real story to reveal itself. And it never did. "
— Jenmitchell, 6/12/2010" As a lawyer, I really enjoy his books. "
— Rod, 6/6/2010" Well written, tedious story of a PI attorney who flips for the FBI, <br/>after having been exposed himself by the IRS, to gather evidence <br/>on judges guilty of taking bribes. <br/> "
— Chuck, 4/20/2010" almost gave it four stars because the writing and characters are both good, but way too much description for a thriller. "
— Edward, 3/16/2010" Reading this book was one of the worst wastes of time! It was awful, badly written and hard to follow. I couldn't even keep the characters straight. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Don't waste your time. "
