Amazing story told less so

I was fascinated by the story but constantly disappointed by Grisham's telling of it. I'll give him credit for taking a complicated tale with more characters than War and Peace to keep track of. But the development of any character other than Williamson and Fritz was very thin.

Overall, it was a good read and I'm glad I read it but it could have been much more.

Gravity by Tess Gerritsen

Fun, Graphic
Fun read but not a GREAT book

Gravity was a good read-not a great one. I read it a couple of sittings so it goes fast. The characters are pretty well developed (there are quite a few to keep track of). The plot, however is a bit thin-not developed as deep as it could be. We'd wander down one lane and suddenly the author would transport us back to another place and time never to return to that thread. The ending was a bit rushed-like she got bored with the story or the publisher made her cut something. Either way I wasn't happy with how she wrapped things up.

Glad I read it and even more so that it didn't take up too much of my time.
