Personal Injuries - Scott Turow<\/p><\/div>\n

This was not your father’s legal thriller.\u00a0 Most of the action is confined to the courtrooms and law offices of the main players, making it more legal than thriller.\u00a0 But the characters come alive in ways difficult to describe, making the story worth the read.\u00a0 This was my first time revisiting Turow since\u00a0late high school\/early college and, while not as good as I remember the previous outings, it was a nice reintroduction to the goings on in Kimball County.<\/p>\n

Possibly the better story here is the mystery of a little addendum to the physical book.\u00a0 I must have bought the hardcover years ago on eBay (it originally came out in 1999) and then put it in\u00a0a drawer until earlier this year.\u00a0 Tucked inside was a boarding pass for American Airlines flight 685 headed to New York from Fort Lauderdale on November 2nd, 2009.\u00a0 Mr. Todd Scher must have enjoyed this particular piece of fiction while sitting in seat 14A on his evening flight to New York.\u00a0 What is his story?\u00a0 Heading to New York for business?\u00a0 Returning home after some fun in sunny Florida?\u00a0 Is he who I bought the book from?\u00a0 Where is he now?\u00a0 Is this<\/a> him?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
