The author wasn’t the only one learning about the travails of the homeless and the street life they endure. I see the homeless every day and want to throw a $5 McDonalds coupon at each one but have never done it. There are so many stories of how the homeless become so that I get overwhelmed by the problem. How does it get fixed when the author brings homelessness to our own governing center of the USA where not much gets fixed it seems. EVERYONE should read this hard to read book and ponder fixes and write congressman if so inclined. Thank you for opening my eyes Mr. Grisham. Now it’s up to me to do something isn’t it!

Not unlike some books I’ve read by John Grisham, this book is more of a drama than a mystery or thriller. But it’s a good book! John Grisham paints a compassionate, sympathetic portrait of the struggles of homeless people and the lawyers who fight for them. Marvelous entertainment!

Kept waiting for this to get better. Read to the end with high hopes, but it fell flat. Not a usual John Grishom page turner. Don’t waste your time.

Thank goodness for John Grisham

Not his best work ever but still a very good read for what it is.

This is the 15th grisham book I have read. As usual, very interesting and exciting. Great ending.

This book made me think about homelessness

Thanks to Mr. Grisham for exposing the plight of the homeless and the valiant efforts of the lawyers fighting for people's rights. Riveting story. Great read.

Opened my eyes to the underground world of the homeless. I only imagined what it would be like for those who are homeless to survive on a day-by-day basis, but after reading this book I realized that it is much worse a struggle than I originally thought. It has a "soft" ending, however, still a great read.

Not good. I downloaded it because of all these good reviews, but I think they just joined the John Grisham bandwagon. His other books are excellent. But this one seems like written like an afterthought. This book had no climax. None- I'm serious. I fell asleep reading it many times. I want my money back.
