The Summons by John Grisham

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I never expected this book to be amazing, because it’s not the usual legal thriller that Grisham writes. But after a couple of chapters, I was hooked. It took me less than a week to finish the book. That may be slow for others, but with my busy schedule that’s impressive.

I was pleasantly surprised to see some returning characters in this book that appeared in other Grisham novels. It made me want to re-read all his other novels that I read before and see if any of the characters were mentioned there.

Swimsuit by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The plot was unique, and it’s been a while since I’ve read a book where I hated the villain(s). The bad guys in this book are vile and atrocious. Actually, I don’t know how James Patterson (or Maxine Paetro?) can write something so disgusting. I gave it 4 stars because it at least captured my attention, and the author did his job of making the villain a villain that you hate.

It was an ok book. The book is chuckle-funny, not lmao-funny. I love her style of comedy so I wasn’t bored with the book. It’s kind of short though, and it seems impersonal.
