Description As Books The Testament

In a plush Virginia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. With his death just hours away, Troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, his ex-wives, and his minions, a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives.

Because Troy Phelan's new will names a sole surprise heir to his eleven-billion-dollar fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary living deep in the jungles of Brazil.

Enter the lawyers. Nate O'Riley is fresh out of rehab, a disgraced corporate attorney handpicked for his last job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. As Phelan's family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate is crashing through the Brazilian jungle, entering a world where money means nothing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman - pursued by enemies and friends alike - holds a stunning surprise of her own.

Critique Based On Books The Testament

This one was a bit slower moving and not as exciting as most Grisham books. It may have been better served as a novella with a lot of the middle of the story cut out. It lacks the constant twists and turns I've become used to from Grisham (bear in mind, I'm reading all of his books in order for the first time ever), and this one simply grew boring in the middle.Hoping the next book is back to his style!

Not sure if it was an okay book or a waste of time. Too long and boring sometimes, fewer times gossipy and intresting. Would not recommend.

This is the kind of book we all hope to read. Excellent story right from the start to the very last page.

What I learned from this book:1) Everyone should have a fully executed will. 2) A poorly written Will is bad estate planning.3) If you have lots of money and hate your family, make them think you are giving them $11 billion and then swap the Will that gives them nothing, and then jump off a building plunging to your death so that they can't do anything but settle with the estate. This is my first Grisham book. And many more to come, I am sure!

Let this book be a warning to me. I read it 20 years ago and loved it, but upon revisiting it, I would just say it was entertaining and leave it at that. There's a lot of heavy handed preaching and simplified characters that would be worthy of a a junior high student. I've changed who I was 20 years ago from when I first read this book, and the country has changed along with me. The paradigmatic insidious world we were thrown into 20 years ago are not who we are today. I, for one, think fiction

It was a quite enjoyable read. The Plot: So, this story is about, An American billionaire named Troy Phelan. He's an 80years old man with three divorced wives and six heirs. Troy suffered from his illness so he decided to commit a suicide ( he's kinda crazy man). After his death, all his heirs and his wives wanted to read his will, his testament, (I know you're thinking about all his money and his lucky heirs but you have to read till the end!!) And all his money was left to his Illegitimate

reviewI am reading The Testament, by John Grisham.It's about a man named Nate who is put in charge of finding the illigitament daughter of a billionaire.She's a missionary to a remote jungle and is, as far as he knows, unreachable.So he sets out on a journey with vivid characters and challenging situations.Jevy the body guard and Milton the pilot befriend him and try to help him on his journey.I love this book.I can't stop reading because Grisham describes Nate's trials with such color and
