In this
book we find an ironic Grisham, which tells the stories of little lawyers
struggling with a big court case. Unlike some of his previous novels
characterized by a bitter tone to show the worst of the American legal world,
"The Litigators" is a very light, at times surreal story, without
ever losing its credibility.
Even here
the law is used to show different types of humanity, but this time describing
its miseries with the aim to make us smile as well as that intrigue us. As always
it is difficult to put the book down once started. You continue to turn pages,
curious to know if the lawyers will be able not to be crushed by the judicial
system, never losing your smile even when you are to live with them the worst
situations.
There's no
happy ending with a twist as in his first novels, but compared to the most
recent ones, there is still a good ending, in which the characters are making
it in one way or another, even if not as they had expected.
This type
of Grisham, who looks like a sort of hybrid between his legal and humorous
novels, is in a sense a pleasant surprise and I hope to continue to find it in
his future works.
