The Halls of Justice by Lee Gruenfeld

billymac1962's review against another edition

1.0

This could have been a good novel in the hands of an author in touch with reality. OK, maybe I'm being harsh.
But seriously, the twists in the courtroom were just too unbelievable to me. True, we've all seen gross miscarriages of justice. But these just defied reason.

2.0

A lawyer went out to celebrate a case that she won with her twin but a guy in the pub has something else on his mind which led to kidnapping & rape case. This book covers the whole procedure of rape case and how a case is prosecuted from start to finish. To be honest, at first I thought that it was kinda eye-opening to the legal procedure but as the story progress, it became something with TOO much information. At one point, I thought and felt like I was in a law lecture listening to a lawyer talking about his case.

Don't make me start how the main protagonist, from whom we got the first person point of view, keep talking in a lot of tangents that it becomes distractions. First person POV is either hit or miss with me because there are times when he is talking about crucial info but not sure whether he's talking to himself or to others.

Despite all that, the cases are quite interesting and made me kept on reading.
