- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I found this book an excellent read and it would appeal to fan sof CSI Miami and court room dramas. I liked the way the author introduced the characters quickly into the story and each character was a part of the jugsaw puzzle.The book was very well researched and taught me a lot about the workings of the Amerixan judical system and its failing and absurdities and that sometimes justice is only acheived through civil litigation and not through criminal courts. The book highlighted the advantage of choosing the correct venue and how demographics influences jury selection. Getting a satisfactory conviction is based more on a strategy and psychology and not on guilt or innocence. However, I thought the explanations of the DNA were a little too detailed and the bored the reader and I found myself skipping through these passages.The main theme of the book is rape and the reader has to judge Claymore on this accusation alone and not be influenced by past convictions. I found myself questioning my own behaviour if in this situation I could act withouth fear or favour. The book was very thought provoking in this respect.The story had many twists and turns culminating in a very dramatic and unexpected ending which left the reader totally exhausted.A thoroughly good read and I would recommend this book to anyone who believes in justice.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An intriguing look at racial and sexual politics in the USA, using the device of inter-racial rape and a criminal trial. Although not by any means as "literary" as To Kill a Mockingbird, this is more than just a run-of-the-mill legal thriller. At one point it actually references Harper Lee's magnum opus. When lawyer Alex Sedaka tells his female co-counsel that they're up against the old stereotype of "black man as sexual predator," she replies: "You're still living in the past, Alex. That stereotype died with To Kill a Mockingbird. It's been replaced by another stereotype and one that's" no less pernicious: the lying woman who consents the night before and then screams rape the morning after."If this book is marred by anything, it is the author's inability to restrain the anger in his tone when describing injustice (e.g. "the acquittal of the cops who viciously beat Rodney King"). Even allowing for the fact that he puts these words into the mouth of a character, it is clear that these are the author's own thoughts. And while one may agree with them, it feels clumsy as they jump off the page and into the reader's face. It is sometimes better to write in a muted voice and to let the readers feel the anger for themselves, instead of serving up the anger as a ready-made dish. But this flaw notwithstanding, this was an impressive novel.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A courtroon drama/ thriller .A talkshow host is accused of rape and asks a friend to defend him .Mayhem and twists and turns predictably ensue. Decent enough of its genre (I seem to have quite a few books of this type for some reason when I don't really enjoy them except when traveling). There is perhaps a little over use of italics for emphasis which do tend to throw you out of the story. On two occasions the section (much too short to be called a chapter) starts with a couple out for a meal where details of the menu are given, both of which would give any foodie the shudders (lettuce and steamed veg for a starter. Blegh.), Ian Fleming used the same sort of motif and it didn't work for him either. Any author contemplating putting food references in their book should consult a specialist (I am available for a suitable consideration).Overall readable enough.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5No Way OutNo Way OutBy David KesslerISBN: 9781847561831ISBN 1-84756-183-7Avon ©2010528 PagesGenre: Crime--Thriller and Suspense David Kessler has written a thriller about a black activist and convicted rapist, Elias Claymore who has been recently found guilty of raping a young white nineteen year old girl, Bethel Newton in California. Elias pleads innocent and hires his best friend and attorney, Alex Sedaka to defend him. Having been convicted in the past for raping six women and for escaping jail, Claymore is up against all hope for the Prosecution has strong DNA evidence to prove that Elias is Bethel's rapist. Alex has a hell of a defence case to win; with DNA evidence stacked against Claymore he has a fat chance in hell to be acquitted. In hopes of winning the case, Alex hires a young attorney appointed by his insurance company named Andromeda Phoenix whose bisexual partner Gene works at the Rape Crisis Centre as co-counsel. The Judge throws an injunction against Andromeda's partner not to get involved with the victim. Then Andromeda starts getting anonymous threats through her E-mails telling her to get off the case. To add a twist to this page-turning court drama, Alex's own off-again-on-again partner, Martine, a journalist, is covering this case and has already received hate mail. Is there really no way out for Elias?The book throws reference to the infamous OJ Simpson trial and has slight racial undertones but purely to point out how prejudice people can be and how it can destroy lives. David writes in the same style as James Patterson and John Grisham--two of my favourite suspense novelists. I enjoyed this highly suspenseful court drama which kept me on the edge of my seat. The chapters were short but full of intrigue and ends in cliff-hangers; This allowed me to get to the end quickly without loosing the plot (excuse the pun). The author sent me a free signed copy of his book in exchange for a review. I wasn't obliged to give a favourable review. I found this book hard to put down and suspenseful. I truly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of crime fiction and thriller/suspense novels.David Kessler is the author of Mercy, Who Really Killed Rachel, A Fool for a Client, Tarnished Heroes, Reckless Justice and The other Victim . A British Author, David Kessler was born in London. It wasn't until he was 15 that he wanted to become a writer.
