Grisham wrote this in such a way that we never knew quite where the story was going next. Having two different story lines going at the same time gave us a lot to think about and took us to a lot of interesting places to discuss. Good, genuine characters.

Excellent, uplifting, positive. I would recommend it to antone

THE TESTAMENT by John Grisham
I started this book thinking “oh no, another bad will, lawyers fighting it out” book. I was wrong. This book is really a character study of two people: one selfless, powerless, kind, gentle, loving, astute; the other selfish, brutish, drunk, egotistical, powerful. It is also about a land – beautiful, treacherous, unforgiving, abundant. When these forces meet, the story begins.
Grisham is a great storyteller; his characters are real, the situations are plausible, the tension is unending. THE TESTAMENT has a clear message, told clearly in a powerful way. This is a story that will stay with you. I’m glad I read it and you will be too.
5 of 5 stars

This book was so good I was so shock that he willed all his life saving to an illegitimate child and she did the unthinkable.
