The Laws of Our Fathers Audiobook

" Two words: brain candy. It's an easy read, but gets a little awkward in the transition between past and present. Story jumps the shark at the end. "

" Because I've read other Scott Turow books and liked them, I forced myself to finish this one. But it was drudgery. So much so that the final Turow book I have to read will be put on a shelf for some time to come. I don't think I could stomach two within a few weeks of each other if the other one is like this one. "

" a fine legal story with detailed and captivating characterizations and ver appealing to all those who were or knew of the flower generation. Scott Turow is readable as always and his novels raise several moral questions in my mind as usual. It also is disturbing to read of the cancer of corruption being so widespread in the American judiciary ... though comforting perhaps to Indians!! "

" I started this book and almost gave up on it from the beginning. The first chapter was written in this gangster's tone of voice, and it just pissed me off. But I didn't have anything else to read, so I stuck with it, and a few chapters in it started to get really interesting, and never went back to the gangster's point of view again. Then I got to the last 50 pages or so and completely stopped caring, and consequently stopped reading. Oh well. "

" Read in Italian, a long nice book "

" Good court drama, with fun flashbacks to the early seventies! "

" I think Turow was trying to write too many stories at once, and didn't do a very good job with any of them. "

" If Turow could figure out a way to tell his story without the first 200 pages and the last 200 pages, he'd have a five-star novel. Those middle 400 pages were golden. "

" 817 pages of very slow-moving prose. I couldn't finish it. "

" This was a legal page turner. Good read for a holiday weekend. "

" This was not one of the better novels by Scott Turow. Too much trying to sound like an ebonic, black perspective by awhite man. "

" A decent mystery/thriller, but Turow was a little self-indulgent in his portrayal of the angst of middle-aged characters facing their own mortality and their shared histories. "

" Didn't really care for this "

" Got about halfway through it and couldn't finish. I liked it, but not as much as other stuff I was reading and did not want to read 300 more pages of an "ok" book! "

" too long in many sections. Liked story line n characterss "

" Turow gets down and dirty in his books and sometimes he bores me with the detail. But otherwise a good read. "

" Scott Turow is a master. Loved this book. "

" I didn't finish this book. I like Scott Turow, but I could not get through the flashbacks to the 70s in Berkeley. I grew up after all that was over, and cannot stand to read yet another Boomer flashback. Sigh. :) "

" Ugh. Couldn't get through the first 30 pages. There are ways to express a character's dialect without actually trying to write in that dialect. Horrid. If I'm missing out on a good story, shame on the author. "

" Disappointing read. Usually like Scott Turow, but not this book. Should have given up halfway through, very confusing and off-point, didn't think it would ever end. "

" Too much backtracking interwoven into the story to have a cohesive story line. I lost interest by about 30% through. "

" A little slow, but well written. Interesting character development. "

" I had trouble getting through this book. I tried a couple of times and then finally gave up. I don't know if it is the language of the book that didn't appeal to me or the story line....oh well... "

" Disappointing read. Usually like Scott Turow, but not this book. Should have given up halfway through, very confusing and off-point, didn't think it would ever end. "

" Very riveting book. A very intricate look into relationships, the sixties, street culture, and justice. "

" Very good but not his best work. "

" Meh. Not really recommended, but for its genre, it's decent. The problems with book exchanges where all the books are German! "

" Scott Turow is a master. Loved this book. "

" This was a well written novel that was thorough in all aspects. I never thought I would come to the end. "

" Interesting look at the 60's Be prepared for along read "

" I didn't finish this book. I like Scott Turow, but I could not get through the flashbacks to the 70s in Berkeley. I grew up after all that was over, and cannot stand to read yet another Boomer flashback. Sigh. :) "

" a bit long,but good, didn't like the gangster talk though "

" A little slow, but well written. Interesting character development. "

" Turow gets down and dirty in his books and sometimes he bores me with the detail. But otherwise a good read. "

" A present-tangled-with-past tale. More (flawed) character driven and less legal than typical Turrow. "

" This was a legal page turner. Good read for a holiday weekend. "
