from death. This was a page turner for me because I wanted to see if Nate would crash and burn like several times.
before. I have always been a fan for an underdog and Nate was diffidently one of them. For example at the.
beginning of chapter sixteen Nate fell and fell hard; he went to a bar and got two bottles of vodka and went back to.
his hotel room and vowed to "Not stop drinking until they were both empty" (125). In the end Nate pulls through.
and discovers what is really important in his life and it isn't booze.
A big strength Grisham shows is that he moves quickly in the books he writes. In this book he starts.
basically with Troy being tested by psychiatrists for his sanity, then he throws the whole family for a big curve. By.
moving quickly in all of his books, he hooks you with the use of different characters. For example greed vs. greed.
brings out the best in Troy's children, but Greed vs. God brings out the best in the book. .
The book starts as I said earlier with Troy Phelan signing his last will and testament ( at least that is what.
Grisham wants you to believe!). He had signed several others before hand but did not like them so he tore them up.
and started fresh. Grisham describes Troy's children as "Vultures waiting for the kill," (142). They are so greedy,.
they are looking forward to their father dying. The psychiatrists had cleared Troy saying he was of a sane mind.
and it was safe for him to sign his will. After Troy signs the will everybody was happy so they all left, then ol".
Troy pulls a fast one on them and jumps from about three stories up. Before Troy jumps he signs two different.
pieces of paper canceling out any other previous will and leaves everything to a illegitimate daughter. He is nice.
enough to at least pay for all of his kid's debts up to that day. That is what they get out of the will so they aren't.
totally cheated.
This really stirs up the greed, because right after Troy signed the will and jumped, his kids went on.
