I started this book thinking “oh no, another bad will,
lawyers fighting it out” book. I was wrong. This book is really a character
study of two people: one selfless, powerless, kind, gentle, loving, astute; the
other selfish, brutish, drunk, egotistical, powerful. It is also about a land – beautiful, treacherous,
unforgiving, abundant. When these forces meet, the story begins.
Grisham is a great storyteller; his characters are real, the
situations are plausible, the tension is unending. THE TESTAMENT has a clear message, told
clearly in a powerful way. This is a
story that will stay with you. I’m glad
I read it and you will be too.
5 of 5 stars
