The premise of the book is that Zola, Mark and Todd’s friend Gordy realizes that their law school is a scam. But I didn’t because no matter what people say about John Grisham and his formulated writing method I actually enjoy quite a few of his novels.

So probably at that last line I should’ve back away cued Randy Jackson, Not Micheal’s brother but this one:Īnd backed away from the book. That’s what Amazon had to say about this book and maybe that’s where I was lost I don’t love stools, at 34 they make my back hurt unless they have a good supportive back and arms and a cold one? A cold what? I think that beer whether it be cold or warm tastes like what pee smells like. Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready to spend some time at The Rooster Bar. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. Maybe there’s a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.īut maybe there’s a way out. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped.

Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. Whether to tell all of my friends to read it or to act like I never read it a day of my life. I finished reading John Grisham’s The Rooster Bar a week or so ago and honestly I don’t even know whether to give it one star or five or to throw it in to the corner or light it on fire.
