• Review: Oh, no you didn't! Oh, yes I did.
  
  You see, I often got books for presents, as a youth growing up in sunny Garden Grove. Paperbacks make good stocking stuffers, after all. And whenever I got a book as a present, I felt like I might as well read it. This is one such book.
  
  The Client is about some guy who I pictured as Dick Cheney (even though I didn't know who he was at the time) that's trying to kill himself in the woods by filling his car up with carbon monoxide. Some kid happens to be in the woods, and so, being a kid, he unhooks the hose. The guy in the car gets mad, hooks it back up, and then the same thing happens again. Then, for whatever reason, somebody comes and kills Dick Cheney. That's when the action starts!
  
  Anyway, then the lawyers come. They want Billy (that's not his name) to testify to clear McGarnicle's name (though that's not his name, either). Billy's scared, and is probably being threatened by Al Qa'eda, who I assume killed Dick Cheney. McGarnicle tells Billy that he has to testify for him, and Billy says, "Okay, I'll do it for you, McGarnicle!" Unlike in The Simpsons, though, Billy doesn't get his throat slit from eat to ear. Instead, he lives, and the bad guys go to prison. If that sounds implausible in the real life I just made up, imagine reading it in print. Ahhh...John Grisham... Would that you were washing my car, right now. I'm sure you'd do a better job than the interns you pay to write your "novels".
