To Robbie Feaver the law is all about making a play - to a client, a jury, or a judge. But when the flashy, womanizing, multimillion-dollar personal injury lawyer is caught offering bribes, he's forced to wear a wire. Even as the besieged attorney looks after his ailing wife, Feaver must also make tapes that will hurl his friends, his enemies, his city, and a particular FBI undercover agent into a crisis of conscience and law. Now Robbie Feaver is making the play of his life.

What made the experience of listening to Personal Injuries the most enjoyable?

First, the story was excellent. It was involved but easy to follow and very enrapturing.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I was literally on the edge of my seat throughout the book.

What about Mark Bramhall’s performance did you like?

The performance was the best ever heard by this reader. I felt like a very experienced lawyer or judge was actually narrating the book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

This is not a new book, but I had never read it before. I loved it. The tag line should be "a court system where corruption is so rampant, you can't tell the good guys from the bad!"

if you are a lawyer or a judge, Read This Book!

Good story. Too long, gets slow in many places. Could have been edited better. Great story.

Although some of the characters are memorable, this Turow is just too long and drawn out, and many of the characters are not easy to remeber, or like. Just not my favorite effort by this author, who normally transfixes me.

Too long...not his best

Do not buy if the “Mystery Thriller” books you listen to must be plot driven and contain action cliff-hangers.

Read this for the characters and their development.

Publishers Weekly says it better than I can.

“Turow has always been more interested in character than plot, and in Robbie Feaver, a lawyer on the make who ends up fighting for his life, he has created his richest and most compelling figure yet.
….for Feaver is a character of almost Shakespearean contradictions. A charming, brash womanizer who nevertheless shows superhuman reserves of love and patience to his dying wife at home, he is always several jumps ahead of the prosecutors, the FBI and the reader, winning sympathy, even admiration, where there should be none.”

Read the Publisher’s summary for the plot.

Do not buy IF..

An Insiders look at criminal court. The narrator plays an observers role. A personal injury lawyer who succeeds by bribing his way to the verdicts and settlements he wants. He its discovered and volunteers to turn snitch so he can be with his wife who is dying of ALS.

I consider myself a Scott Turow fan. I have read all his books available on Audible and several in hard copy, never with less than overall appreciation for his ability to draw the reader into his narrative and his skill as a writer. Until now. I feel both puzzled and disappointed by Personal Injuries. Several reviewers have described the plot as boring, presumably because it moves along very slowly, frequently punctuated by digressive descriptions of minor characters and descriptive details of settings, clothing etc. It is, in short, more "literary" than the typical crime procedural mystery. My criticisms are more specific and do not take the author to task for writing a book that departs from my general expectations. I would argue that the books fails in ways that transcend genre. For example, the tensions between Robbie, the protagonist anti-hero sleazeball lawyer, and Evon, the constipated FBI agent assigned to undercover duty in Robbie's office, are artificial, tortured, and ultimately the stuff of television soap opera. Throwing in Robbie's wife dying a slow, painful death from ALS over the span of the story only reinforces this unfortunate impression. The cast of corrupt cops and judges comes across as more caricature than credible. Even poor Sandy Stern, the stately Argentine-American attorney from earlier Turow novels, is dragged in toward the end for a cameo appearance. In desperation perhaps, to lend some credibility? Finally one point that some might regard as nitpicking: the story is told in the person by George. George wafts in and out of the storyline, sometimes omniscient (or nearly so) and other times a relatively uninteresting and incurious observer of events. Turow attempts some unconvincing justification of how George could be cognizant of virtually all the things that are going on in the lives and thoughts of the other characters but it just doesn't fly. Creative writing technique aside, it is never a good thing when the reader is distracted by wondering who is narrating and why. Note: After I wrote this review I did a little research and learned that Time magazine named Personal Injuries as the Best Fiction Novel of 1999. I am left wondering who was on the jury and if they actually read the book.

A big disappointment
