For his first work of fiction, Scott Turow opted for that creature of an infinite number of crime noir books - the innocent man falsely accused. But PRESUMED INNOCENT is not noir, falling instead into the more generic genre of standard mystery. Rusty Sabich, a prosecutor in a fictional...

Twenty Years Later, this Book Can Still Pack a Punch

Should be 5 stars but I can't edit stars
I loved this book when I first read it in paper, so I was going to buy a copy for my Kindle so I could read it again (I gave my paperback to a charity sale), but was dismayed and definitely deterred by the incredibly unresonable out of sight price of the Kindle edition. Update July 13, 2008:I...

Great Book - Thoroughly Enjoyed It
One of Turow's best, if not the best. I have not seen the movie, therefore the ending was a complete surprise.I will not repeat what the other Reviewers have written, just wanted to rate the novel as I thought it was truly a 5-Star read.

Best Courtroom Sequence in Fiction
An attorney friend of mine recommended this book as the most accurate portrayal of courtroom drama and true legal arguments in fiction. For him most other trial fiction (Grisham, in particular) is staged b.s. So, I picked this book up to give it a go and I wasn't disappointed. With the plot...
