Overview

Life would seem to have gone well for George Mason. His days as a criminal defense lawyer are long behind him. At fifty-nine, he has sat as a judge on the Court of Appeals in Kindle County for nearly a decade. Yet, when a disturbing rape case is brought before him, the judge begins to question the very nature of the law and his role within it. What is troubling George Mason so deeply? Is it his wife's recent diagnosis? Or the strange and threatening e-mails he has started to receive? And what is it about this horrific case of sexual assault, now on trial in his courtroom, that has led him to question his fitness to judge?
In LIMITATIONS, Scott Turow, the master of the legal thriller, returns to Kindle County with a suspenseful entertainment that asks the biggest questions of all. Ingeniously, and with great economy of style, Turow probes the limitations not only of the law but of human understanding itself.

Limitations

Written by Jean from Santa Cruz, CA on January 17th, 2011

  • Book Rating: 4/5

A judge questions his ability to judge others, while he is receiving threats to his life. An interesting story that bogs down a few time but did have a few nailing biting moments. The book was only 5 Cd so it finished way to soon. Did figure out the ending before it was revealed in the book.
