2 out of 5 stars Tedium followed by tedium. Did I mention the tedium?   February 12, 2005
Synopsis:

83-year old Benjamin Stillman dies and leaves $8 million to a local synagogue in his will. No big deal, except that no one can figure out where this bookkeeper for a brokerage house got $8 million. Oh, and there's one other little fact: Stillman was not Jewish and had never even set foot in the synagogue. A legal wrangle develops and everyone "lawyers up": the synagugue, the brokerage house, Stillman's doctors come up with another will leaving all of the money to their cancer treatment center and there's even a class-action lawsuit is filed by a sleazy lawyer looking to make a name for himself.

The Review:

This book was tedious. It started out well but I soon got very tired of all of the legal wrangling. It just got irritating to me and it made me very glad that I did not become an attorney. This book's genre was legal "thriller" but I was tempted just to skip to the end in order to see who got the money and leave all of the tedium behind. I give this book a "D+"

Yastrow has another book and I doubt I'll be reading it. He was a former big shot corporate attorney for McDonald's and his name shows up quite often when you search him on Google. Like I said before, he really made me glad I did not become an attorney, assuming his book accurately portrays the legal wrangling.



5 out of 5 stars An Original! - And A Damn Good Read!   October 18, 2001
A legal "thriller" of a novel with suspense, well drawn characters, fascinating insight into the legal world of wills, heirs, bequests, etc. No one gets killed or even roughed up, yet the reader is riveted to the page by a succession of fascinating events. A dead man has left his eight million dollar estate to a synagogue - but the deceased is a Roman Catholic! Why does he make such a bequest? A number of parties contest the will and vie for some or all of the eight mil. A real different story. I enjoyed it very much and I bet you will too.
