Fun having a kid as the protagonist, but this one was pretty slow and predictable (minus one twist).

¡Ay que me ha sacado unas lagrimas el final! Me ha gustado muchísimo, se me ha hecho pesado a mediados del libro por la cantidad de nombres tan raros que usa Grisham, pero en general la historia y el desarrollo ha sido limpio y sin plot holes.

In two years since the firm first captured the imagination of America's readers, John Grisham, with three consecutive number-one bestsellers, has become one of the most popular authors of our time. Now, in The Client, he has written a novel so irresistible, so thoroughly entertaining and satisfying, that it is sure not only to please his millions of fans, but to win him new ones as well.

This is the story of eleven-year-0l Mark Sway, who as the novel opens, witnesses the bizarre suicide of a New Orleans attorney. Just before he dies, the lawyer tells Mark a deadly secret concerning the recent murder of a Louisiana Senator, whose accused killer, Mafia thug Barry Muldanno, is about to go to trial. The police, the federal prosecutor and the FBI pressure Mark to tell them the attorney's last words, but he knows that with the mob watching his every move, revealing his secret will almost surely get him killed.

So Mark, streetwise and old beyond his years, hires a lawyer: Reggie Love, a fifty-two-old divorcee who's been through more than anyone could imagine and survived, basically, because she's tough. And feisty. And loves helping kids...
