Download The Client: A Novel Audiobook

" This is my third Grisham and my favorite thus far. It was an interesting read with enough action and suspense to keep the pages turning without overwhelming credulity (although he stretches it rather thin in several places). The protagonist family Sway is likeable, the antagonist Muldanno and cronies are frightening but low-key, and there are a few characters who scramble back and forth between the two, making things a bit more interesting. Many scenes and descriptions date the writing but can be overlooked with little effort. And though Grisham closes with another neatly-packaged end, it was done well enough to carry through. My biggest complaints fell to the characters, who were difficult to keep track of and not always convincing. A large handful of police, FBI agents, and lawyers were hardly more than sketched in as people. Then they were scattered through a half dozen offices in two states, appearing and disappearing faster than you can say "criminal justice" with rarely a note or reminder to the reader of who all these people were. (Admittedly, if I had cared more for the book, I might have tried harder to keep them straight.) And then there was Mark, a purported eleven-year-old who vacillated between ballsy genius pre-adult and weepy pre-teen. It was fun, don't get me wrong, and I certainly don't regret reading it ... but I couldn't in good conscience give it more than three stars. "

" Great read. Love books you can't put down! "

" I can't remember this book but I know I read it. I wouldn't read it now..not my stuff anymore. "

" Another absolute one! "

" Got bored. "

" It was okay, nothing too spectacular. "

" i acutally liked this one ok. still, it's not like it's one that's gonna stick with you forever. i still think they shoulda went with an older lady, to play the sarandon role, like in the book. tommy lee jones was yet again cool in the movie though. "

" I really liked this book with the exception of the language and the movie enhanced it even more. "

" I love John Grisham's legal thrillers so I love this book! "

" Grisham is a good storyteller. "

" just not my cup of lawyer tea. "

" I loved this novel, especially the way it began. I was hooked immediately and had to keep reading. Grisham painted such a great picture of every character and I remember them to this day after not reading this book for years. This might be one of my faves by J.G. :-) "

" Loved the social commentary on homelessness in America. Great book "

" If you love law and you love suspense, this is the book for you! First long novel I ever read of my own choosing in the 8th grade. "

" Good book read it when I was in Highschool but remember it as a good read. "

" Not really my thing, but I enjoyed it. "

" I really enjoy the John Grisham books. I always find them intrigueing. I've never read one that I didn't like. "

" I love Reggie! "

" I liked this book but there was a lot of action. I like how he writes his other books. I love the legal aspects of things. This movie was good, but not my favorite. "

" A shallow, obvious story. A know it all kid, who out smarts cops, the FBI, and the mob. 20 Pgs in, the crime is explained in full detail, no twists to be had, no guilt to be questioned. I did enjoy his writing style, albeit simple. "

" The use of a child protagonist is interesting, especially given eleven year old Mark Sway's prodigal wisdom. The book is exciting from cover to cover and is an enjoyable read. "

" Late one night while I was reading this book my husband asked me if I was coming to bed. I said, "Honey I can't. The mob is after him, the police are after him and his brother is trying to find him." This book is a fast read because you can't put it down. "

" Ending was a bit abrupt, but I liked this one pretty well. "

" I am on a John Grisham spree, and I don't think it will be ending anytime soon. I loved this book! I'm digging all the lawyer talk and twisted plots. I liked it much more than The Firm. Can't wait to check out his other thrillers! "

" This was the first Grisham book I ever read. I read it many years ago--recommended by my then-father in law. I love the little kid. And I love the attorney, who took the case on a $1 retainer. "

" Very suspenseful. I only have the abridged version so maybe the ending to the unabridged is more satisying. "

" Grisham stays upto his reputation, he has an uncanny knack of proselytizing Law into a racy fiction/plot. He never disappoints. "

" Great story. Quick read. Liked the main character! "

" Very much enjoyed this book! "

" I enjoyed every Grisham book I read. But I have to say The Client is my favorite one so far. "

" A good read - about a young boy who sees a man attempt suicide and then die, and thus becomes hunted for his knowledge. Grisham builds stories around modern issues and law. "

" Coba baca novel berbahasa Inggris seminggu baru dapat 1 Bab :D.
Novel sekela John Grishan kok grammarnya masih salah yak. "

" Love to read John Grisham! "

" This is the first adult book I remember reading as a young teen. I loved it. I own it, it will always be on my book shelf! "

" Page turning tension and a great twist at the end "

" Every book is just so refreshing. Really, grisham, i love all your works. "

" john grisham...? he still the best "

" I absolutely love this book. The very first John Grisham book i read and i have been hooked since page 1. I have not read a book of his i did! Not love. "

" I've read nearly all of the John Grisham books and enjoyed them. Good plotlines, and the protagonists are generally likeable, despite being lawyers ;-) "

" I'm so pleased that the library has Grisham books in Spanish as well as English now. Juan and I both liked this book. The protagonist, an 11 year old boy, is such a great character. Caught between the Mafia and the FBI, he and his lawyer manage to escape them both.... Great story. "

" I really enjoyed this book. This book really makes you think. "
