It definitely falls in the legal thriller category.

I thought the book was well written overall. The plot was good and it teased out some really important issues. I learned a lot about how tires work which I didn't know before.

I did feel like the book was a bit longer than it needed to be and found a few errors reading through. While I thought there was good character development of Ted Born and Dave Thompson, I would have liked to see more character development of some of the others.

Overall, I would rate the book a 4 out of 5.

This book stands out as one of my top crime thrillers. Despite encountering some errors, they didn't alter my overall perspective. I've given it a solid 5 out of 5 stars. While the pages detailing tire manufacturing were a bit tedious, they played a crucial role in advancing the story's plot.

This is one of the most realistic trial novel I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading but it needs another round of editing.

I’m always looking for a good crime thriller, and this one comes with the legal justice system as a cherry on top. There’s a lot to learn about law from this book. I some that it touches some sensitive topics such as racism. I loved reading this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading "The Impossible Mock Orange Trial." It was a fast-paced and suspenseful read that I couldn't put down. I found the characters to be well-developed and relatable, and I was rooting for them from the very beginning. The courtroom scenes were also very well done, and I felt like I was right there in the room with the characters.

"The Impossible Mock Orange Trial" by Thad G. Long is a gripping legal thriller. It's all about a major court battle out in the sticks of South Carolina. The experienced attorney Ted Born is up against the rookie Dave Thompson in a legal dispute involving justice, ethics, and racism. It's a compelling read that appeals to all readers, not just legal eagles, thanks to Long's storytelling. It's something I suggest.

:lol: "The Impossible Mock Orange Trial" wasn't just a legal battle; it was a human drama about love, loss, and the lengths we go to protect ourselves and those we care about. It left me reeling with its clever resolution, pondering its ethical questions, and yearning for more from this masterful storyteller. A truly five-star experience, hands down.

This legal thriller is excellent. The writing style of the author is informed by their background in law. The turns and twists are interesting. I had trouble putting the book down. It was a fitting cover. I found the humanitarian aspect to be quite intriguing without compromising enjoyment value. The ending was excellent. It's heartwarming to watch Ted and Dave grow closer.

I had been avoiding this book for the longest time not knowing it was a drama even though it was in the title all along! Better late than never, right? I’m pretty excited to read this one. Reading everyone’s comments here tell me that it isn’t one I should miss.

This is definitely a five-star book. It’s clearly a legal thriller but it also had elements of other genres that make it seem unfair to refer to it simply as a thriller. It has a depth to it that is not usually found in a quick and suspenseful thriller. The writing style is simple and easy to understand. There are interesting underlying themes and philosophies that make this story a cut above the rest.
