Summary: Pleasant book, realistic it is not
Comment: Being in the legal field, I have fun reading legal thrillers. The Judge is a fast read and enjoyable but realistic it is not. The main character is an attorney, Madriani, who is drawn into defending Judge Acosta in a murder trial. Madriani throughout the story breaks laws, lawyers ethical rules, and attorney client rules. He would be disbarred in the real world. Plus he isn't quick enough to catch a major piece of evidence that is basically dropped in his lap until the very end of the story. The story moves quickly both in the courts and by reading. Suspending any real world legal knowledge made it more enjoyable. I think a little more realistic take on being a lawyer would have worked, maybe Mr. Martinin didn't have the time to figure out others ways to achieve the same end results but without destroying his main character's character.

Summary: I'm the JUDGE of this book....it is excellent
Comment: I just finished reading The Judge by Steve Martini. I checked the book out of the local library on the advice of a friend. I had a hard time getting into the first four of five chapters and thought perhaps it wasn't going to be any good. But my friend assured me that if I stayed with it, I'd become fixated with it. He was right. I couldn't put it down. I could kick myself for not being aware it was a television movie and I missed it. That's what I get for being a reader instead of a tv watcher. I can only attest that if the movie was anywhere as good as the book, I would have thoroughly enjoyed it. Martini's style of writing is a little different and it took me a while to get used to it. But once I finally was "fixated" on the story, then I didn't seem to notice it any longer. Attorney Paul Madriani is truly the kind of attorney a client hopes to find for representation. Martini proves his character to be full of intelligence and wit in a world where attorney's have to stay on their toes. Only a master of story-telling could have written such a story, unless of course, Martini might be drawing on real life experiences. I have already checked out another novel by Martini, The Attorney. I can't wait to get started on it.

Summary: Bad main character makes bad book
Comment: "The Capital County Courthouse has more leaks than a pack of dogs with bad kidneys...."
This is the first Martini book I have tried to read. Okay, maybe this is just how the main character thinks, but there is at least one of these bad lines every three or four pages. It grated on my nerves. It made me dislike the main character. It made me hate the story. It made me dislike Martini as an author. It made me not want to read any more of his books.
