I pulled it off the shelf with the intention to skim quickly then throw it out for more space. To my (mild) dismay, I ended up having to read every word. It was surprisingly good, well-paced, well-written, with an interesting premise, fascinating proceedings, and characters who were easy to root for yet not predictable and pedantic. My wheels were also probably pretty well greased for lawyer hijinks after having spent the last several weeks watching JAG every day. 
 A surprisingly pleasing read that deserves its status as a bestseller.
