PRESUMED INNOCENT (Scott Turow) - August 9/19

I mean, it's a good book, but boy howdy is it ever long. Turow offers up an incredibly dense narrative packed with descriptive paragraphs that seem to go on for pages, and it is, as a result, impossible to become wholeheartedly engrossed in the story. I was never able to really get a handle on the various supporting characters, most likely because I couldn't help but glaze over key stretches. It's just so darn long. **1/2 out of ****
