The legal thriller of the decade. --Cleveland Plain Dealer
Now a Major Motion Picture!
In this true story of an epic courtroom showdown, two of the nation's largest corporations stand accused of causing the deaths of children. Representing the bereaved parents, the unlikeliest of heroes emerges: a young, flamboyant Porsche-driving lawyer who hopes to win millions of dollars and ends up nearly losing everything, including his sanity. A searing, compelling tale of a legal system gone awry--one in which greed and power fight an unending struggle against justice-- A Civil Action is also the story of how one determined man can ultimately make a difference. With an unstoppable narrative power, it is an unforgettable reading experience.

The most intriguing and compelling litigation story I have ever read. 整個感恩節都在讀的一本書,也是各大法學院的必讀,沒讀過簡直不好意思說自己pre-law。在法庭上無法獲得的正義,讓全社會,讓曆史來重新審判。
評分寥寥幾筆就能立起人物形象,抽絲剝繭把一個復雜而很有可能無聊的故事慢慢展開,還講得極為生動有趣。整本書高潮迭起,讓人手不釋捲,實在非常精彩。
