Grisham has lost it and it doesn't seem that he cares
Struggled through 400 pages of Grisham's characters complaining about student loans and immigration strong-arm tactics. All the student loan servicing officials were mean and stupid and immigration officials were thugs. Meanwhile the plot wandered around with the far-fetched assumption that law students could successfully pose as lawyers in criminal courts. The final scam doesn't pass even a friendly giggle test. Grisham clearly sees himself as a social crusader - just turning out dribble to fill the pages. He can't even get a 4/5 rating anymore on Amazon.
