First, I'd like to say that I'm an avid Grisham fan. I've read everything he's written (including his children's stories) and have always enjoyed them. However, "The Rooster Bar" was very disappointing in so many ways. The first three-fourths of the book was just downright boring and slightly depressing. Two of the three main characters were borderline repulsive and the third female character came across as stupid and insulting to me as a female. There was a lot of unnecessary repetition about the theme. I truly struggled to get through this read. What were you thinking Mr. Grisham?Tags : The Rooster Bar - Kindle edition by John Grisham.

The Rooster Bar edition by John Grisham Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I am a huge John Grisham fan. But I was very disappointed with THE ROOSTER BAR. The story was slow and draggy throughout the book. I found it very predictable and boring. The characters were not likable nor redeemable. They were like today’s “snowflakes”. They accepted the money quickly but tried to find ways to not pay it back.
Let me preface my review by saying that I love John Grisham novels. I usually devour them in two or three days. It took me three WEEKS to finish this one—that alone should tell you a great deal. Honestly, I did not like a single one of the protagonists. Let’s recap three law students choose to go to a private law school unaffiliated with any college or university in DC. Apparently it takes them three years to figure out that few people graduate/pass the bar/find jobs. They complain that the brochure was misleading. The brochure? They chose to spend thousands of dollars based on a brochure? Obviously none of their classes covered the concept of due diligence. They want to get even so they do so by dropping out and practicing law without a license. That’s right, they get even with the school and it’s owner by scamming people in some of the worst moments of their life. Grisham manages to wrap this all up with them scamming the scammers and paying off their student loans. So the bad guys lose. But who wins? Certainly not their clients who hired them in good faith. Certainly not their families who will probably never see them again. I just kept thinking that these guys were not much better than the people who ran the law school. One last thing supposedly all this was triggered by the death of their friend but it angered me to see this become more of an excuse than a real motivation. I really hope Grisham’s next novel will give me someone I want to root for
A real cynical, bleeding-heart, boring tale of two losers who end up getting away with their scarcely-believable criminal activity while thumbing their noses at the nasty, evil, law enforcement people who annoyingly insist that we follow the rules. I have always enjoyed reading Grisham, but was really toughing it out to reach the end of this depressing effort. Maybe he should make a career switch to politics.
Struggled through 400 pages of Grisham's characters complaining about student loans and immigration strong-arm tactics. All the student loan servicing officials were mean and stupid and immigration officials were thugs. Meanwhile the plot wandered around with the far-fetched assumption that law students could successfully pose as lawyers in criminal courts. The final scam doesn't pass even a friendly giggle test. Grisham clearly sees himself as a social crusader - just turning out dribble to fill the pages. He can't even get a 4/5 rating anymore on .
I was very disappointed in this last publication. It did not intrigue me from the beginning as all his other books did. The characters were hardly believable. The action was repetitive, the ending was flat. This was not the great story telling that one comes to expect with his books. Even the sentence structure was below par. I am not quick to criticize, but this time it is merited.
I am a huge John Grisham fan. However his past few novels have been hit or miss. This one is a miss for me. The civics lesson, got it. The Wells Fargo banking scam, got it. Made for profit schools, got it. Maybe it's a sign of our current times that there is such apathy about right and wrong. John, I love your David vs Goliath storylines, stick to them. Your characters are likable with a moral compass. This book is about unlikable characters trying to screw more unlikable characters who end up screwing everyone.
I'm done with Grisham. I've read all of his books, but his latest ones have severely declined in both imagination and writing quality. Much of the early part of "The Rooster Bar" is simply the author on a soapbox, this time about law school student debt. Character names are cringe-worthy Hadley Caviness, Wilson Featherstone, Chap Gronski. Female characters are always described by where their skirt falls on their thigh, and they serve no dramatic purpose. Cops do nothing but "snarl," and at one point they do it three times on a single page. Does Mr. Grisham no longer have an editor? Or a thesaurus? I found the main characters so annoying that I was actively rooting for them to fail. But of course, as in every other Grisham novel, they somehow manage to transfer millions of dollars to an offshore bank and live out the rest of their lives in a secluded tropical paradise. If Grisham won't take more time and care in writing his novels, I'm not going to waste my time reading them.
