Audio Book Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In a plush Virginia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. With his death just hours away, Troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, his ex-wives, and his minions—a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives.

Nate O'Riley is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long.  His second marriage in a shambles, and he is emerging from his fourth stay in rehab armed with little more than his fragile sobriety, good intentions, and resilient sense of humor.  Returning to the real world is always difficult, but this time it's going to be murder.

Rachel Lane is a young woman who chose to give her life to God, who walked away from the modern world with all its strivings and trappings and encumbrances, and went to live and work with a primitive tribe of Indians in the deepest jungles of Brazil.

In a story that mixes legal suspense with a remarkable adventure, their lives are forever altered by the startling secret of The Testament.

Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

    This is my favorite book. It grabs you up right away and you have a very hard time shutting it off. I have listened to it at least four times over the years.

    I loved this book because of the twinge of humor in character descriptions. The story line was great too I thought. My favorite of his so far, definitely worth it - the narrator was fabulous.

    I like John Grisham's court dramas, but I loved this book because it is not a court drama. The highly flawed yet appealing character of Nate was like a best friend you can't help rooting for. And Grisham's depiction of a recently recovered alcoholic struggling with keeping his feet on the ground was perfect. Five stars.

    Book started strong but then got kind of slow. The narrator’s dramatic tone was very annoying and distracted from the story.

    Probably my most favorite book by Grisham. Always love the court room scene, but the spiritual aspect of this story was uplifting.

    We liked it very much. I’ve read many of John Grisham’s books This was one of my favorites. The plot was exciting, lots of character development.. This book takes you on an adventurous journey into the jungles of Brazil and the courts of Washington DC.. Billions of dollars are at stake and a cast of characters are all lining up to get their share of the inheritance.

    The storyline was not very interesting and narration really dragged it down. The positive to this story is that I’m going to get back to regular church attendance.

    Loved it. I’ve Come to love all Grisham’s stories. He’s a master story teller. Yes They all seem to have a legal setting or back story but they’re very much more than stories about the law or lawyers. Excellent listen. Highly recommend.

    What a pleasant surprise from John Grisham. Certainly a differently styled book with several twists that keep you hooked throughout. I appreciated the sometimes tedious descriptions of characters or events—made the book come alive as the scenes unfolded in real time. Great read!
