Industry Reviews
"THE APPEAL" is John Grisham’s handy primer on a timely subject: how to rig an election. Blow by blow, this not-very-fictitious-sounding novel depicts the tactics by which political candidates either can be propelled or ambushed and their campaigns can be subverted.... Building a remarkable degree of suspense into the all too familiar ploys described here, Mr. Grisham delivers his savviest book in years."
