Pros: Lengthy, detailed. You'll know these characters before novels end. Cons: ??
Shortly after cracking this novel open it becomes apparent that the Personal Injuries of the title are both the nature of the law that lead character Robbie Feaver practices, and the raw wounds of all of the characters in the story....
Pros: Strong characters, strong plot and very believable Cons: Not a happy story
All of us know that corruption exists. Not just in the mob world, but in the very places that are supposed to be the temples of justice: the courts. I have been a lawyer for 28 years (including four years as an elected District Attorney) and I have...
Pros: I'm not sure. Let me get back to you on that. Cons: Long-winded. Back-stories that don't relate to the whole story. Anti-climatic ending.
Scott Turow returns us back to the fictional Kindle County for another justice system that has run amok with corruption. Robert or Robbie Feaver (pronounced “favor”) is a personal injury lawyer who is caught in a web of bribing judges ...
Pros: The father of the court novels shows he is still the best. Cons: No cons
Corruption. Many might simply shiver with this word. However, isn't it possible to have some fun with the subject? Yes it is, and when it's masterly tried, it's fun, and one of the best of its kind, that American writer Scott Turow offers in his...
Pros: Entertaining characters, insider view of FBI undercover sting operation Cons: Sometimes lost it's rhythm, too many lapses into areas not relevant to the storyline
Having just completed “Personal Injuries” by Scott Turow, I found myself oddly at a loss to describe the book to my wife, who was to read it next. As is custom in our house, we tend to pass our books along to each other (except for those horrible Jane...
Pros: Ken Howard (narrator), good plot, interesting and often likable characters Cons: It's long so be prepared
I listened to Personal Injuries on tape. The narrator is actor Ken Howard. He does an excellent job with the narration, and easily goes in and out of different characters using several different accents. His voice as Robbie Feaver, with a New York...
Robbie Feaver is quite skilled at breaking the rules. As adulterer, a liar and a briber of Judges he is the perfect example of the proverbial scoundrel. However, he is also gifted with an innate sense of decency and loyalty that eludes many of those who...
Pros: Detailed story of FBI sting with all the trimmings, likeable and complex main characters Cons: Weak secondary characters, distracting subplots
Scott Turow is by far the best of the lawyer-turned-writers who have been churning out legal thrillers since his "Presumed Innocent" came out in 1986. I still think that was his best book, but "Personal Injuries" is pretty good. The...
Pros: A fascinating investigation centering around an even more fascinating character Cons: Slow to get into; a strangely disconnected narrator
Following the phenomenal success of his first novel, Presumed Innocent, author Scott Turow must have made a vow not to let himself be Grisham-ized. Continuing to practice law even as he has written several more best-sellers, he has managed to avoid...
Pros: details of legal system ups & downs Cons: narrative point of view was confusing
As much as I enjoyed Presumed Innocent, The Burden of Proof and even One-L, I think I was expecting a bit more out of Scott Turow with this novel, Personal Injuries. Not that it's a bad read....it is entertaining and mid-way into the book I was finding...
Pros: Lets us in the realms of the good guys turned bad...Corruption at higher levels...Crooks by any other name. The master speaks.. Cons: No complaint...other than to say...great Christmas gift...
Author of "Presumed Innocent," Scott Turow gives us another thriller again. Personal Injuries is one of the best books he has written so far. In many ways, he is a trailblazer for the many attorneys who have been writing manuscripts on the...
Pros: How corrupt judges are trapped Cons: Ending way too tricked-up
Scott Turow is by far the most literary author in the legal-thriller genre. He was also intimately involved in Chicago's crooked-judges sting of the 1980s-- Operation Greylord-- and this new one is a fairly low-key exploration of the mechanics of such a...
Pros: Complex, interesting character development Cons: odd point of view
"Personal Injuries" is a well written, complex legal novel. In this story, the main character is Robbie Feaver. Robbie is a charming personal injury lawyer. When the IRS determines that Robbie has a secret bank account used to bride judicial officials,...
