Book Report Accomplished

I just finished writing a book report for a class, it's the first book report I have had to write in years. Luckily, the book was fantastic. A Civil Action, by Jonathan Harr. It's the true story of a tort case in the 1980s, made into a movie starring John Travolta a few years ago. I have never seen the movie, but the book is incredible, it reads like a John Grisham novel, yet is a true story. I am not sure why my professor wanted us to read this book and write a report, the main message I got out of it was that a lawyer's life is tough, duplicitous, miserable, and you end up working like a dog for people who will ultimately be ungrateful for what you do for them. Very inspirational.
