Limitations (2006)

George Mason, once a trail lawyer in one of Turow’s former novels (Personal Injuries 1999), is now an appellate court judge. He is confronted by a difficult challenge as the senior member of the three judge panel crafting a decision in which the judges have differing views. The case involves four...

Pleading Guilty (2001)

This is my fourth Turow novel to read, and while there is a lot that I like about it, it is probably my least favorite. I should admit a bias from the start, though, as I am a criminal defense attorney, and I have never been particularly intrigued by the malicious internal politics of high-powere...

Personal Injuries (2000)

ull of surprises and a darn good yarn, Personal Injuries is a fun read. Check it out. But if you want something more substantive, go back and read Laws instead.A book where deception is the game and to the main character Bobbie Feaver a chance tp show off his acting skill to the world while livin...

The Laws Of Our Fathers (1997)

After about fifty pages, I was tempted to give up on this book, but I stuck it out and really enjoyed it by the end. The basic story is that a new judge (who I guess was a character in an earlier Turow novel) finds herself with a murder-for-hire case in which the defendant was once a little neigh...

Reversible Errors (2003)

The world breaks everyone, Papa Hemingway said, and afterwards many are strong at the broken places. True enough, if the metaphor is about bones. Bones break, but bones knit, and bones can be stronger for the experience. It’s a strong metaphor, but it doesn’t cover everything, doesn’t include eve...

The Burden of Proof (2000)

For some reason, I found this book difficult to read. Mr. Turow has a peculiar way of wording sentences (some of them, not all of them), such that some sentences I find myself reading 2 or 3 times, and still not understanding what he is saying. As in PRESUMED INNOCENT, there is much insight int...

Presumed Innocent (2010)

I do enjoy a legal thriller every now and then, and this one was no disappointment. Taut and suspenseful courtroom drama, a spare, no-frills writing style that does in no way lack depth or perception, gritty, realistic dialogue, compelling secondary characters and a unique side story that looks a...

Trial of the Gemini (2013)

This is the story of two families of Greek heritage, intertwined in more ways than one would think possible, over a couple of generations: The Kronon family, and the Giannis family, the latter including Paul Giannis, just over 50 and a state senator now running for mayor, and his identical twin...

Book

Identical (2013)

We will call that a 3.25. It started a bit slow, but after the major plot twist at around page 200, I paid more attention! I always like Turow's ability to surprise me, and he did that with a bang here. There was also a lot of implausible stuff that I had trouble believing, but it was definitely ...

Innocent (2010)

Turow has written an incredibly human approach to life in politics and the challenges that it can bring. Bringing a 20 year old vendetta to light again demonstrates perfectly how long memories can be when you've made it to the top. The human portrayal of Judge Sabich and his weakness toward wom...
