Its been a few books since John Grisham has been able to captivate me like he did with "The Rooster Bar". In this book, four law students go through the ups and downs of living the life of a law student. The stress of classes, grades, upcoming job interviews/placement, and of course, student loans.

Early on on the book there is a tragedy that they must deal with. One that brings them to their knees. From there the students have to decide, is this the life they want to live? Is being a lawyer really worth all the hard work and all the investment they've made in themselves?

Throughout the book they question their motives and ideals. Questionable decisions are made. They even get in over their head, but how will these young students pull themselves up?

There is so much going on in this book that I feel like if I give too much, it will ruin the book for you. I will say this, if you enjoy good legal thrillers, then I highly recommend you give this one a read. Its a real page turner and shows me that Grisham still has it.
