I'll agree with that. I've tried to read them all, and found
myself bored about forty pages in, wondering how the hell the
critics could rate him so highly. One thing, he started
writing these things in the 80s, about a particular type of
people in a particular world (lawyers and law), and since
then has not changed much in telling these. So I pick up the
latest,
"Personal Injuries", hoping for something new, and as I read
can't help but feel trapped in this "never left the 80s"
cycle.
Probably not a bad writer. But legal thrillers? Almost an
oxymoron.
