I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in the law and how there are honest lawyers around.

Great narration with emphasis on the parts that needed it.

Grisham as good as ever.

Love John Grisham and his ability make legal maneuvering an exciting adventure. Michael Beck's performance is the A list performer as much as an actor in a movie.

Good for Abridged...

I really enjoyed this book, and the narrator did a good job. However, you lose so much in terms of getting to know the secondary characters with abridged books, so the subplots were rather un-satisfying. This book was also a bit predictable, but enjoyable none-the-less.

Enjoyed to the fullest

John Grisham did it again...this kept me wanting more...listening for what will come next...can he get out of this situation. The narrator is also one of my favorites, even if the story is not good I could listen to him and still enjoy the audio-book.

Boring

I’m a JG fan, but this one hit a few road bumps and just wasn’t as exciting as his previous books.. nothing jumped out , not the page turner like I expected from JG... the narrator was awesome , if it wasn’t for him I probably would t have finished it

My favorite John Grisham book!

The Street Lawyer is my favorite John Grisham book and the narrator, Michael Beck is one of the best. He captures John Grisham’s character like no other.
The story is about lawyer who leaves a well paid law firm to become a street lawyer and finds his passion helping ppl who don’t have a voice. This is an amazing story that you won’t regret choosing.

Nicely done Mr. Grisham

While this was a straight forward and somewhat predictable tale, it had guts and plenty of Grisham's cleverness. More proof that your protagonist doesn't have to be in extreme peril to make for a excellent story.

Terrible Grisham

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

No one.

What was most disappointing about John Grisham’s story?

Mawkish story written in the most simplistic way. The book seems like an early effort by the author to develop the writing style he became famous for. The music was a terrible addition to the prose.

What aspect of Michael Beck’s performance would you have changed?

Beck was fine. He is a masterful reader, but there was only do much he could do with the story.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment

Any additional comments?

I didn't realize this version was condensed. Audible should have made that clear.

Don't buy it

It made little sense and was very predictable. Very disappointed. Not my cup of tea.
