Testament

/

Finished another John Grisham book. I picked up three of them from the library and have now finished two.

Testament was another enjoyable read. I liked many of the characters and was cheering them on. I loved the journey up the river and through the jungles of Brazil. I would love to go there one day. Like Gump said, with John Grisham, you can see a bit of the author in the way he writes. I could see John visiting these places in Brazil and was not surprised to read that he had been there a couple of times and hence included it in one of his books.

The evil characters are so over the top evil that I wonder if rich people really are like that. There is a person on 43things who has posted enough that I suspect she is much like some of the rich children in this book. Unearned money has a way of bringing out the worst in people.

The ending of the book was not at all to my liking. Too many questions and a great big “Why did Grisham do that?” I would have done things differently. I can’t say more than that about the ending as I don’t want to ruin it for those who might read it.
