Great Grisham book that gives a story of corruption and fowl play that I think most of us suspect anyway in our justice system. He is still true to form with his great writing! One of his many books that I loved.

Intriguing - true Grisham. 3 judges in a medium-security federal prison call themselves the Brethren. Together they fine-tune a mail scam, but their little scam goes awry. Fast read - holds your interest.

Although this book was okay to read to pass some time, I would not recommend it to any of my friends to read. There were parts of the book that had some twists that made it fun but there were some portions that were predictable and seem "stretched" to make thing believable.

This was my first book by this author and I must say I was disappointed. This story did nothing for me. Exploiting others for money by using the means it did was appalling. I found myself struggling to get thru this book and it just irritated me. I'm sure there's better writings by this author but for now i'm shelving the idea of reading anymore. This book just sucked.
