Book Reviews of The Lincoln Lawyer : A Novel
Book Review: Fast paced from page 1 to the last page
Summary: 5 Stars
You will not be able to wait to turn the next page in this humorous legal mystery. Brilliantly written, surprises galore, and a poignant look at a wanna be big time crimminal defense lawyer at work. He believes he has a "franchise" rich client accused of rape and murder, but gets much more than he bargained for. A great insight into the games and cheating of prosecutors to gain a conviction, and "scum sucking" defense lawyers milking their clients dry.Book Review: The Launch of a Welcome New Series
Summary: 5 Stars
Mickey Halder, AKA: The Lincoln Lawyer is off on a fast-paced page turner as a likeable, although somewhat reprehensible, criminal defense lawyer in an interesting LA setting. He quickly gets off to an unexpected turn of events, with an out of character i.e. high paying client, that leads him to an encounter which keeps this book full of surprises and highly entertaining. I'm sure this is not the last we will hear from this likeable shyster.Book Review: Fast pace, good read
Summary: 5 Stars
The Lincoln Lawyer was my first Michael Connelly novel. I read a lot of Tom Clancy and felt like I needed to do something different. I took a chance on it because it was a book that people who read Walter Mosley also purchased. I started reading it and found it hard to put down. Fast paced and many plot twists. I finished the book two days ago and am about to order another Connelly novel.
I hope to see this book as a movie.
Book Review: Top notch novel
Summary: 5 Stars
Just finished Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer. I thought it was an excellent book. I read it in 2 days. Been off work due to surgery. I have recently read The Bourne Idenity by Lundlum and Shutter Island by Lehane and I thought Lawyer was better than both. I felt for Haller and Connelly developed the characters well. In the end I actually found myself caring about Haller and Maggy. I would recommend this book to anyone. You wont be disappointed.Book Review: Escapist reading that leaves philosophical echoes
Summary: 5 Stars
While I began to read this as a "curl up with a cup of tea, cat on my lap" escapist mystery, I found myself stopping to muse over questions of guilt and innocence, the role of personal wealth vis-a-vis the legal system, and other rather philosophical questions. Can be read just for the well-crafted story--and interesting take on past loves/spouses-- but you may find yourself thinking deeper thoughts, too.
