Book Reviews of A Civil Action
Book Review: It must be fiction?
Summary: 4 Stars
This is truly a compelling story. Its author rivals the greats of legal fiction (Grisham). A true David and Golliath battle takes place! It shows the strengths and more importantly the weaknesses in men who are supposed to be used to the 'trials' and tribulations of courtroom life. The struggle Schlichtmann encounters in his private life echos those faced in his professional one. The tragic circumstances with which the story is centred around are shocking and frightning, providing the reader with an empathy that I have only encountered in true life tales. A Civil Action however IS a true story and this knowledge leads the reader into the one of the most bitterly fought cases in the U.S. Its almost unbelivable story has become a motion picture from Paramount Studios but don't be tempted to watch the movie first, (it stays true to parts but) the book is far more gripping! It is what I call a 'rainy day read' and luckily for me it has done nothing but rain!!!
