Not For Me

I love a courtroom drama, legal show, surprise testimony. Having seen that the series All Rise, which I liked a lot, was based on this book, it was an easy decision to nab the book. The book's always better than the movie/series, show, right? Um, maybe not this time. Although it felt deeply researched, I felt it was a slog, it was depressing, and felt heartless and hopeless. Maybe it was just me? Part of it was the writing style--I found the threads hard to follow. Sorry, Steve. I'm astounded (and impressed) that someone read this book and made an entertaining show out of it.
