The Common Lawyer

By Mark Gimenez

I love me some law drama! And this one was no different.

Initially, the books starts off really slow….as in REAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLY SLOW. I almost give up at some point and then suddenly…the pace picks up and it goes up all the way to 200kph till the end. 
 
Andy Prescott is not your typical lawyer. He does not wear Italian tailored suits or drive the larest BMW. He does not work from a posh corner office nor does he live in an upmarket neighbourhood. He does not even handle typical law cases! Andy is just a guy stuck in between college and adulthood…and totally refusing to grow up. He gets by through taking up traffic cases. Andy is brilliant though. 

Bang! One day he lands the case of a life time. Too good to be true...and indeed, it does turn out to be too good to be true. I don’t know how to explain the story….there are surprises all over the place. Once you think you have understood the story…it changes and takes up a whole new life of its own. Brilliant writing…though I found the ending rather bland and predictable. 

In the end, you realise that Andy is no common lawyer in every sense of the word.
