One joy of going to a lending library is you can pick a book don't do any research in internet since the cost is less and you are just lending it and will give it back.
I love legal thrillers "John Grisham" fan.
I saw this book "Con Law - Mark Gimenez" looked like Jai Bhim, but anyway I like legal thrillers.
I was expecting a court room drama but no court scene here in this novel.
The positives
- witty dialogue
- a course on Fracking
- a course on Marfa
- very good Con Law discussion between Law students. only 2 scenes one each in the beginning and the end
- politics related to tenureship election for professors
Professor John Bookman does not fear dying but fears about not living. He travels in a Hardley and appears on TV debate shows (would have enjoyed if there is a scene). He helps the needy who writes letters to him.
He receives a letter from one of his ex-intern and thats how the story started.
Story has twist and turns and its not black and white many characters have grey shades.
There is a revelation on why the Professor does these things.. what is his motivation.
Few things are cinematic like
- an intern towing with him wherever he goes.
- The Professor sometimes is just hot headed and assumes things and is trying to pick some fights. We expect him to be little bit more intelligent. Few things were obvious but he thinks otherwise and goes in wrong direction
Anyway its a good read
