I just finished reading Scott Turow’s “Innocent”. This is the sequel to “Presumed Innocent” which I did not read but did really like the movie (of course..) Now I definitely want to go back and read Presumed Innocent (just added it to my list of books to buy/read) And re-watch the movie…and NOT just to see Harrison Ford…although that IS reason enough :)
This book had me riveted for sure. I had to keep going and going to find out what was going to happen. And I’ll have to say, I was wrong about my assumption of the end. And I’m usually right about these. But I started reading it on Friday afternoon and it’s Sunday afternoon so I blew through it to see how it ended!
The book isn’t solely about crime and whodunit. It’s touches on marriage/relationships/love, making mistakes and paying (or not) for them and how that effects you, wondering if you can find happiness and love, staying in relationships for the wrong reasons, and integrity, both personal and professional. Interestingly, it doesn’t touch on a subject that I assumed they would, that goes back to the first story. But it does always keep the crime element there for you to wonder about it.
I could totally see them making this into a movie with Harrison back as Rusty. And you know I will be there :)
I recommend it as a good read for sure.
Just bought James Patterson’s “Swimsuit” to read next. I am laying out in mine while I read so it seemed fitting :)
