Cheap A Civil Action (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Discount Review Shop
If you're interested in the law, and have little or no idea how complex cases are brought to court, this is the book for you. ACA is equally gripping as human story (what a story!) and legal procedural (what a case!). I never realized what lengths some lawyers will go to to see a case through, what sacrifices they make along the way, and how much can be personally at stake for them. ACA is ultimately about families -- who lost family members on account of the willful negligence of major corporations -- and a town in Massachusetts. But the lawyer who fought their case is near the center of this telling, and rightly so. Were it not for his extraordinary efforts -- and those of his colleagues -- justice might never have been done in this extremely disturbing case. Kudos to Schlichtmann et al for a job very well done (the judgment against Beatrice and Grace should have been much much higher), and to Harr for an outstanding book.

"A Civil Action (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)" Specifications
Every element of great drama--tragic deaths, titanic greed, a flawed hero--already existed in Jonathan Harr's A Civil Action. John Shea's reading provides the finishing touch: a great voice. Shea, an Obie Award-winning stage actor, is probably best known for his roles in a handful of films in the '80s, including Missing and Windy City. His smooth, disciplined reading guides us through some of the book's heavy traffic--lots of medical information, many characters with complex backgrounds, multiple carcinogenic chemicals--without for a second allowing us to get lost in those details. We never forget we're heading toward one of modern journalism's great clashes of good and evil, and even if we know in advance which side wins, the narrative path to that conclusion is always riveting. (Running time: 4 hours, 4 cassettes) --Lou Schuler
