Grisham captivates you right from the start and keeps you in suspense to the very end.

This book had a decent storyline but it seemed to lack the sharp edge that Grisham has had in other books. He did a wonderful job developing the plot and the characters but I'm not sure that justifies all the pages in this book. He does manage to keep the ending a surprise and it was pretty satisfying.

Horrible ending. Ruined the whole book (which was pretty good up until then). First John Grisham i had read, and someone told me that i should have expected it. Interesting portrait of a pilot though - lots of airplane information.

I have loved Grisham in the past, but this book was awful! Droned on and on with pointless information. This could have been about 1/4 of the length and then may have been alright, but the ending was still an anticlimactic letdown. Mostly I just felt bored reading this.
