Review
After a lot of reading from John Grisham, it is worth to note that if one wants to read a fully enthralling novel in the legal thriller genre, John Grisham is the way to go.
Reading the book, I cannot help but notice the face pace stories that he usually weaves into pages, are less powerful maybe for the fact that the book is aimed at a more younger demographic, hence it is less of adult novel making it's storyline more simpler than his previous books.
Worth noting that even-though, that is so, the book have enough charm and suspense to make it a good read- a plausible story of a 13 year old boy on his quest to find his best friend who got abducted.
