The Client by John Grisham

This book is about a young boy, Mark Sway, and his brother who sees a man, Jerome Clifford, committing suicide. Jerome told Mark a secret about one of his clients committing a murder and where he had hid the body of a Louisiana Senator. Mark then becomes obligated to testify in court about what he knows. Although Mark is afraid Jereome's client's mafia freinds will kill him if he does so.

I like this book because it's very suspenseful and kept me wanting to keep reading on. Also how the author vividly describes how things appear and how the author chose to use a child and not an adult as a main character. As a reader, you get a better understanding of a child's position when going through the legal system.
