It’s not exactly top-tier, ranking just slightly lower on the pecking order of respectability than George Washington and Georgetown. Our story follows four students enrolled at the Foggy Bottom Law School in Washington, DC, a place where legal students practically grow on trees. There’s an underlying theme present here I found disturbing: one isn’t entirely responsible for one’s own actions, and that any further actions done in the pursuit of rectifying said grievances are totally justified. He cites as inspiration for his legal farce a 2014 expose in The Atlantic by Paul Campos titled “ The Law-School Scam”, which is an interesting entree to Grisham’s appetizer. To fully enjoy Grisham’s latest legal caper you’ll have to suspend your disbelief a bit Grisham admits to playing “fast and loose with reality” in the acknowledgements. It’s back to basics with The Rooster Bar, in which Grisham paints a perverse fairy tale of moral uncertainty starring three recalcitrant heroes fighting back against a system that’s unduly burdened them with student loans. Just this summer came the breezy, beach-ready Camino Island – Grisham’s 30th novel for adults – which was a nice vacation from his usual legal thriller fare. It’s been quite a year for John Grisham fans, especially those who enjoy the lawyer-turned-author’s lighter fare.
