 Enjoyable but Misleading January 2, 2009

I was bummed because when I read the summary, I though that this would be a Bosch/Haller showdown, when it was only Haller in center stage and Bosch was the supporting actor. It should've been informed as a Haller book :(.
I expected more interaction between the two. And to be honest, I always prefer the detective/crime solving life of Bosch more than the life of Haller as a lawyer and the drama at the court. The book did move fast. The case solving is something I have watched over at one of the CSI:NY episodes, so it's not really ground breaking. It was okay but not really a favorite of mine, even if I enjoy Haller's adventure.

M. Connelly's two main carachters (H. Bosch and M. Haller) finally meet, surprises till the very last word!
Grand Slam Legal Thriller December 31, 2008

Michael Connelly's second foray into the legal thriller genre is an amusing, twisting read that will have you ripping through pages one right after the other. There are plenty of good courtroom scenes, great dialogue, and a plot that'll keep your head spinning up until the final page.
Not even the appearance of the serious Harry Bosch amidst the pages can put a damper on the fun read that this book is!

This newest Michael Connelly leaves the murder in the background for much of the book while the legal thriller part comes to the foreground--a clever device that hooked me from the very start. And because cynical Mickey Haller is the first-person narrator, we travel along on his personal comeback journey and see his reaction to Harry Bosch's special brand of detective work. Highly recommended for vividly-drawn characters and intricate plotting.
 4 and a half stars December 27, 2008
Excellent book. I love Michael Connelly's writing style (natural dialog, succinct, fast-paced) and he is a great storyteller. I have liked all of his books except one. This was a great book that kept you guessing to the end. In this particular book I appreciated the lack of gory scenes. He was able to depict what occurred without the extreme graphic detail.
Kudos Michael Connelly on another good book.
