John Grisham is a masterful story teller. This story is tragic, compelling and hard to put down. Similar to the other books in this series that I read years ago.

 I reallllly enjoyed the first three quarters of the book, but the ending was pretty unsatisfying and left a lot of loose ends.

Spoiler

Also, the whole baby thing screamed exploitation/a lack of ethics/general uncomfyness.
