Another page turner from James Patterson but I have to say that it's probably not even worth the 3 star rating that I gave it, given how ridiculous the story becomes towards the end. I really feel like Patterson tried to pull together a completely outrageous ending just to see if he could get away with it. If you are looking for a thrilling book that will keep your attention and you don't care about ludacris plot turns, then this is the book for you.

My biggest complaint is that the second to last chapter of Judge & Jury had a weird, unnecessary “twist” to it where two characters behaved very out of character. It’s painfully obvious that Patterson and Gross were trying to tie up loose ends and disguise it with contrived badassery, hence the three-star rating.
Other than that, Judge & Jury is an okay book. It’s the literature version of junk food - quick, easy, and relatively satisfying. It’s also nice that Judge & Jury is just a stand-alone novel.

krystlekouture's review against another edition
Enjoyability: 5
The book is Fast paced and exciting From beginning to end. I expected it to be a court room drama with witness testimonies and lawyer bickering. However, it ended on not Focusing on court at all. I especially enjoyed it as it centers on a maFia boss and I'm a total maFia junkie.
Re-Readability: 1
Character Development: 3
The characters were likable enough, but Failed to show appropriate emotion. Seemed more like the author was making the do what he wanted, without staying true to their character. The villain was also especially disturbing even For a Patterson novel.
Complexity: 5
There were several character's subplots, and a romance thrown in besides the main bad guy.
Writing Style: 4
Personally I love Patterson's quick chapters and short descriptions. Makes it easy to read 100 pages in an hour or so.
Believability: 3
Its scary really how when explained properly most oF the events are plausible. However things went right For the characters a Few too many times to be entirely realistic. Also, the villains seemed to be superheroes that would just reFuse to go down!
Overall: 3.5
