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4.5。本学期完成的第二本阅读教材。最后那段真是。。。一个人是要被什么摧毁的过程中才有可能意识到存在的真相的。被摧毁而未消亡，就有可能抵达真正的自己。很残酷。所幸他游向深海之后，最后还是回来了。

评分寥寥几笔就能立起人物形象，抽丝剥茧把一个复杂而很有可能无聊的故事慢慢展开，还讲得极为生动有趣。整本书高潮迭起，让人手不释卷，实在非常精彩。
