The Runaway Jury

Excelente narrativa, los personajes muy bien estructurados. La historia no permite que uno quiera soltar el libro. Felicidades al autor.

We learn in the Bible that young David needed only a stone and a crude slingshot to slay the draconic giant Goliath and, let’s face it, David pulled off a quite astonishing achievement.But battling the big guy – someone like Big Tobacco say, has almost certainly got to present an entirely different set of challenges. For example, when challenged, they don’t come to the fight alone (they go for the whole strength in numbers thing), so knocking them down … well it just don’t come easy!In a nutshell that’s the kind of battle we’re talking about here. This “David” is a widow who decides tobacco (at least those making and selling related products) should compensate her for the death of her late husband who, she concedes did have a lethal tobacco addiction.Now having set the stage of battle I will tell you that Grisham has penned a masterpiece that features an excellent plot bolstered by excellent characters.I was especially impressed by Grisham’s ability to craft a jury (a critical but often not well developed element) whose members were humane, common-sense individuals who wanted only to do the right thing.

Super story

El libro estaba demasiado usado, casi no de distinguían las letras en la portada, pero la historia es buena y te echas unas risas. Lo recomiendo. Mucho mejor que la película.

Buona qualità per un libro usato
