具体描述
The legal thriller of the decade. --Cleveland Plain Dealer
Now a Major Motion Picture!
In this true story of an epic courtroom showdown, two of the nation's largest corporations stand accused of causing the deaths of children. Representing the bereaved parents, the unlikeliest of heroes emerges: a young, flamboyant Porsche-driving lawyer who hopes to win millions of dollars and ends up nearly losing everything, including his sanity. A searing, compelling tale of a legal system gone awry--one in which greed and power fight an unending struggle against justice-- A Civil Action is also the story of how one determined man can ultimately make a difference. With an unstoppable narrative power, it is an unforgettable reading experience.

评分 评分是本好书，非常推荐。 这本书的开始不太好读，节奏也不快，慢慢地交待背景，介绍人物。但是一旦熬过了开头，故事越到后面越精彩，越发展越快，仿佛一部不断加速奔跑的马车。。。到最后，书在手中完全放不下来，只能挑灯夜战，一口气把它看完。 合上书后，在我脑海里徘徊的不...
