really good book. i read a ton of pulp fiction about legal stuff, this is not pulp. it's a great family drama and to me, it did feel like a thriller (some ppl thought it was too slow). the writing is what did it for me, the description of people and how they relate to each other. plus, i used to live in richmond and other places in virginia, so i knew the area and the types of people he writes about are familiar to me. also, ive been to some of the bars he mentions. it's been awhile since i read this book, but it was GREAT! Very different! I grabbed it off the "NEW BOOKS" shelf at the library. It's about two brothers......one a lawyer and the other a trouble maker.....two very different people. Their lives get intertwined with an "incident". Brothers blood runs deep (brothers for life), but this situation is impossible to imagine happening. I recall that the author is an ex-judge and was encouraged to write about all the STUFF he sees in the courtroom, so I think this is also a true story.
What do You think about The Legal Limit (2008)?
