The Testament (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" This book is highly misinterpreted. The beginning sets the entire book.It's also not what the entire book is, there is a lot of adventure in this book, you wouldn't think it but there is and it's my second favorite Grisham novel, The Street Lawyer being first. "

" A cool book. Loved the protagonist. Loved the connections to Heart of Darkness (I wouldn't have thought of that, but it was on the back cover in big bold letters). Made me consider how much emphasis money has in my life. "

" This book wasn't great even by Grisham standards. "

" hah~i would like to give it 5 stars, but the death of Rachel change my mind!!*lol* sorry, but i cant stand ending like that! "

" The first John Grisham novel that I ever read, and it paints his writing style pretty clear. Though underneath most of his books is always the inevitable "court room law" type angle, Grisham writes very real characters. Fragile, and very human, some you don't like, some you love, and some you seriously loathe. A book that I would reserve for a long flight, or drive, or maybe when you've nothing else to read. "

" What an accurate account of modern day. "

" This is one of my favorite John Grisham books. "

" Just a good read. "

" This was not only a great story but also a message of greed and redemption. I LOVED it! "

" My absolute favorite Grisham book to date "

" A solid novel of faith, family, and recovery from Grisham! "

" this story of a lawyers quest to find a lost heir and the ways it changes his life showed me how people can make drastic changes anytime. it is interesting how life choices do and can affect others for the better. "

" Listened while driving to San Antonio. Great story with an ending different than I thought it would be. "

" I haven't read Grisham's lawyer novels recently because they have seemed to all follow the same formula. But this novel about a missionary who inherits 11 billion dollars that she doesn't want was intriging. I'm glad I read it. "

" John Grisham books are always a good read and this one was no exception. "

" Enjoyed the ironic sense of humor. A good twist in the end. "

" Some interesting twists and turns, bit slow in places and then finishes quickly in the last couple of chapters. To neatly wrapped up at the end "

" THis is my second Grisham book and I liked it better than the first. It was very easy to get into. "

" Classic Grisham - good story, well written and doesn't try to be something it isn't. "

" Predicatable easy read. Not as good as some others. "

" Always good. This one had a great spiritual facet to it. "

" Ny favorite Grisham by far! "

" My favorite Grisham novel, and I've read quite a few. "

" This was a great read. Despite its secular ground, it shows that if you can't manage receiving a little, you may never receive a lot. "

" Has been awhile since I read this but what really stood out for me was the glimpse into South America which has fostered for me a desire to travel someday to this region. "

" I wouldn't have thought that a novel about a legal battle over a billonaire's estate could be so entertaining. It is funny while making a sad commentary on the legal system and greed and depravity. "

" Except for dragging in a couple places, I really enjoyed this John Grisham book. It had religion and geography lessons about Brazil--two things I wasn't expecting! "

" I consider Grisham novels as T.V. without the picture or commercials. This was predictable. A good book to read at work during lunch when I need a break from Education. "

" Another good read about a will and manipulation. "

" This book solidified my appreciation of Grisham. And its the first one I've read. It was so suspenseful!! I thought at first oh no how will I finish this why is it so long, but nope it was just right and it was great! I am now very excited to read his other books. Must read! "

" Just a good read. "

" I like Grisham, ok?! Maybe he will never be a "classic author," but that doesn't stop folks from making him filthy rich by buying his books. This book is one of his better ones. "

" Meh. The only story line that was interesting to me was the awful children who think they're going to inherit a billion dollars and don't. The rest was slow moving. "

" Easily the best John Grisham novel I have read. "

" Entertaining, good, easy read. It is being made into a movie. "

" Awesome intro. Then it splits into two parts, but brings it all back together. I wasn't sure where it was all going, but it turned out to be a great story. "
