[REVIEW] The Client

The Client by John Grisham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my first re-read! ever!
I remember being at home, 12 or 13 years old, and desperate to find something to do on a rainy week day, during holidays. And suddenly I saw on my mother's bookshelves these "compiled editions" from Reader's Digest. This was one of the 4 stories in that book and I think it was the one that made me fall in love with reading and with mysteries & thrillers...
At that time I might have thought about this book as 5*, today (and 300 books later) it's a 4* but the clear--no bullshit--writing style is still amazing and even comforting...
How different it would be to write this story in a time where 11 year olds have smartphones, ha!
It was a nice travel back in time.
PS - I am not becoming a regular re-reader, too many books to read in life and too little time.
