This is a great book. All John Grisham books are great I yet to read a book of Grisham's that is not good
Shawn Castillo

I have just finished reading this book, and let me tell you, I have been proven wrong. I thought that this book would not be worth reading, that it would be just like the rest. So, I got this book for my birthday, and I began to read it just to see how bad it was. After reading the first few chapters, I realized that I could not, and that I would not, put this book down until I had read every word on every page. It pulls you deeper into the plot, until the end, which could have been a bit better, but nevertheless, it is a great book. Hopefully, John Grisham will decide to either write another book like The Brethren, or he decides to turn it into a movie. Can anyone say Oscar?

loved it

This is by far one of his best. From the very beginning I could not put it down. I slowly attatched myself to the Brethren and felt as if I was a part of their scam. However, I didn't think they would get away as easy as they did, I predicted their fate to be similar to Trevors. I loved the ending, it led me to believe that nothing could stop them and their greed was too high to be put to an end by a mere two million. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good Grisham or to anyone who has yet to pick up one of his books, trust me it will get you hooked. I hope Aaron Lake had a good four years : )
