À propos de cet audio

 The Summons
Once Judge Atlee was a powerful figure in Clanton, Mississippi–a pillar of the community who towered over local law and politics for forty years. Now the judge is a shadow of his former self, a sick, lonely old man who has withdrawn to his sprawling ancestral home. Knowing the end is near, Judge Atlee has issued a summons for his two sons to return to Clanton to discuss his estate.
The summons is typed by the judge himself, on his handsome old stationery, and gives the date and time for his sons Ray and Forrest to appear in his study. But the judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret.

The Brethren
They call themselves the Brethren: three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison.
Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in their boxer shorts, these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong.
Or they can use their time in prison to get very rich -- very fast. And so they sit, sprawled in the prison library, furiously writing letters, fine-tuning a wickedly brilliant extortion scam ... while events outside their prison walls begin to erupt.

It is unfortunate that readers are not able to rate the books individually. I would rate The Summons higher than The Brethren . I was disappointed in the ending of The Brethren

The Summons, The Bretheren

My grandmother loves reading but has become partially blind due to macular degeneration. She loves any book by John Grisham but she said the narration was too annoying to be able to listen to the whole story.

Narration not great

I always adore Michael Beck reading John Grisham, but I also enjoyed Frank Muller doing The Brethren.

Loved both!

The first story was good. I was unable to finish the second one because of the narration. Not only was hus dipiction of the black character offensive, but it dragged on.

The 2nd narration was disappointing

Both of the novels in this pairing are underwhelming. Grisham is at his best describing courtroom drama - immersing readers in the clever maneuvering and psychological reasoning behind choices made, for example, during jury selection. Courtroom battles of wit are lacking in these offerings. Neither of these stories leverage from those scenarios at all. Instead, they relate intrigues that are at best peripheral to legal wrangling. The writing is fine - interesting flawed characters, plots with twists and turns, and realistic dialogue - but the topics explored are unsuitable to Grisham's strengths. Try 'A Time To Kill' or 'The Client' to get a better idea of what Grisham can offer.

Michael Beck is a better narrator than Frank Muller, but neither are exemplary here. Both give decent performances, but some of the chosen accents are straight-up clichéed. Muller's timbre in particular is gravelly, whispery, and overly-dramatic. Furthermore, as mentioned by others, there are actually at least six episodes of repeated sentences in these novels.
The editing is not great.

Overall, these are disappointing examples of John Grisham writing presented indifferently. This duo of stories rates a distinctly average 5 stars out of 10.

Meh. Not Grisham's best work
