Über diesen Titel

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In “Grisham’s most addictive courtroom thriller” (The Seattle Times), justice is fighting for its life—and the jury is caught in the crossfire of greed and corruption.

They are at the center of a multimillion-dollar legal hurricane: twelve men and women who have been investigated, watched, manipulated, and harassed by high-priced lawyers and consultants who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict. Now the jury must make a decision in the most explosive civil trial of the century, a precedent-setting lawsuit against a giant tobacco company. But only a handful of people know the truth: that this jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him.

He is known only as Juror #2. But he has a name, a past, and he has planned his every move with the help of a beautiful woman on the outside. Now, while a corporate empire hangs in the balance, while a grieving family waits, and while lawyers are plunged into a battle for their careers, the truth about Juror #2 is about to explode.

“Deserves to be a runaway success.”The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Marvelously clever . . . Grisham is one of the few writers who accurately and empathetically describes working-class Americans of all races and both sexes.”USA Today

Eine hervorragende Mischung aus Spannung und Humor (der durch den Sprecher sehr gut rüber kommt). Beim Anhören musste ich immer wieder schmunzeln, weil die Figuren mit ihren Intrigen einfach herrlich beschrieben werden. Einmal in Fahrt gekommen bleibt die Story spannend ohne langweilige Stellen.

Spannende Unterhaltung

Ein weiterer Meilenstein von Mr. Grisham! Habe ja ein Faible für seine Werke, doch dieses Ding ist selbst nach dem zweiten Anhören nicht langweilig!!!

Starker Grisham

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.

One of the weakest stories by Grisham. Certainly written in good intent, but much too exagerated, not plausible, unrealistic and downright stupid in the way the main character squeezes it's way into a Jury (!) and takes control of the events. Even Prof. Moriarty, Blofeld and Machiavelli together wouldn't have been able to stage all the occurences, leading to a more or less boring end.

Overdone
