Book Reviews of The Lincoln Lawyer : A Novel
Book Review: Inside the Criminal Justice System
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a retired cop, I don't normally like stories about defense attorneys; however, when the sequel to the book "The Brass Verdict" came out I wanted to catch up on the series. This is an outstanding profile of the inequities in the Criminal Justice System and is right on target. Michael Connelly is a great writer who researches his material. This book and it's sequel were hard to put down. I am now hooked on our new lawyer hero who makes no bones about how the system is manipulated and guilt or innocence has absolutely nothing to do with the verdict.Book Review: Not Just Another Lawyer Book.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Lincoln Lawyer was my first Michael Connelly book & it won't be my last. Michael Haller is a defense attorney who is chauffeured around in a Lincoln. He gets himself into an unusual predicament, but he's a pro & doesn't easily get outsmarted. The book was quite suspenseful & it kept me wondering WHAT would happen next and HOW would Mickey get out of his "situation"......... Most times I can figure out some "stuff" but not with this book. It took me until page 496 (out of 500) to learn "what happens". Different story, great writing, easy reading.Book Review: For someone who only goes to court for jury duty...
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great! It's a murder mystery within a courtroom drama, and both parts are well written and developed.
I loved the fact the the main character, Micky Haller, is just like a few lawyers I know, out for the BIG Case and the BIG Buck, but generally a good person when it comes down to it.
Even if you figure out (or think you have it figured out) who the killer is, the court scenes will keep your interest to the very end.
I look forward to reading more of the main character in future books.
Book Review: Nobody does it better.
Summary: 5 Stars
Michael Connelly has to be the best mystery writer in the Universe. This one is so good that Bosch fans won't even miss Bosch. The only thing wrong with Michael Connelly's writing is that it ruins readers for any other mystery writer. If you haven't read it, read it. If you have read it, read it again. I'm hoping this character comes back in future writings. Like Cassie Black (for you Void Moon fans), this is a character that deserves to appear in future stories.Book Review: Guessing till the last page
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're looking for a worthwhile suspenseful mystery story, you've found it! The Lincoln Lawyer will keep you guessing till the very last page!
I am a huge fan of Michael Connelly, of course a big Harry Bosch fan. I have to say that Mickey Haller is a pretty great character as well (I just got done reading Brass Verdict). As always a very entertaining story, keeps your interest the entire way until the surprise ending.
Well done!
