Summary: well, the beginning was good......
Comment: I'm not often inclined towards legal thrillers, and set out to read the Tenth Justice with a fair amount of skepticism. My skepticism was only half justified. Despite the implausability which most reviewers are quick to point out, most of the plot is exciting and relatively well executed. despite what many other readers have said, I grew really attached to the characters and their - I quote - "pointless banter." They all seem a likable bunch, especially the (somewhat moronic) Ober. I was appaled at the pointless despach of my favourite character two thirds of the way through the book, and at that point, I started to distinctly dislike mr Brad Meltzer.
At that point, the plot took a rapid turn for the worse, and I found the ending infuriatingly unsatisfactory. It seems that our hero Ben ends up with a pretty crappy life - his friends all hate him (oh, except the one who commited suicide..) he lost his job and his credibility, he got shot in the shoulder..... sorry to wreck the plot, but these things must be told. Oh, he gets his girl though. Well break out the champagne.
I left this book feeling infuriated with the ending. I wasn't asking for a happily ever after, just a small glimmer of hope. Ah well, no more legal thrillers for me.

Summary: Good start for a fantastic author
Comment: I actually came across this book because I was dating a guy at the time who had a friend who had an advanced copy - they knew I liked to read and sugested the book. I am now an avid Brad Meltzer fan - I go to his book signings when he is in my area and rush out to get his new releases on the day they come out. I have read all of his books and the first is still the best as far as I am concerned.
Plot twists and turns around every corner. This is also a book I buy and give to everyone I know.

Summary: good thriller but not in Grisham' league
Comment: I think this book is a good thriller that is worth to read if you like this kind of books. It has good characters development, funny dialogs, mistery, etc. Still I wouldn't put the author next to John Grisham as many reviewers suggest. The plot doesn't always seem totally plausible. As some reviewers mentioned I couldn't figure out why the main hero needed to pursue the bad guy even after the bad guy left him alone (I hope I didn't spoil anything here). Also, I cannot say that this action and adventure packed novel (I am not saying that this is necessarily bad). But if you put such such considerations aside the book has very likable characters and easy to follow.
