am I the only one who found it hilarious?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
All right...so it wasn't a GREAT novel. There were a good number of parts where the writer's 'jokes' were ill-timed and ill-fitting. Meaning, some parts were extremely corny and stupid. I was laughing throughout the entire book. Junius Podrug is a decent writer, and his depiction of Russia and Russian jurisprudence makes shivers run down my spine, and makes me feel very, very lucky to live in America. I suppose the fact that I read the ending when I was still around page 5 made me want to finish it. However, the book was not especially understandable at certain parts, especially at the end. Perhaps I am too immature and young to understand a novel of its uh...caliber. Haha, sure. Well, Presumed Guilty is not a book I'd recommend, but I certainly like it. It kept me focused throughout the entire book, even throughout all the corny and sexist and explicit parts of it. "Little Kosca"...hahaha!
Presumed Guilty, What a great read!

I normally take an hour 0f the day to settle back and read. But with Presumed Guilty I found myself not wanting to put the book down. I would take the book with me everywhere at a chance to read just a little more.If I was a reviewer I would extol the character, the mystery, the setting, the pace and the darkness of the Russian justice system. Did I leave anything out? I'm jst glad I live in the U.S.A. where we are presumed innocent.I hope this book gets lots of promotion; it deserves the recgnition.Rachel LewisPrescott, Arizona

Very entertaining. Could not put it down, needed to know who would live.
gripping, poignant and a must read

This is one of the tautest, tightly written novels I have read. It grips from the first page. It's setting of modern day Russia makes for a poignant setting. I especially found the comparison between American and Russian jurisprudence fascinating. As a psyco-therapist I found its characterizations of Laura accurate and gripping.
