I loved this book. It may start out slow but keep reading, it gets alot better. I liked it so much that I have read it two times.
Fascinating Reading

This is Irving Wallace at his best. In this book his is a combination of John Grisham's dramatic court scene in "A Time to Kill", Sidney Sheldon's nail-biting suspense in "Bloodline" and his own narrative as in "The Word". Need I say more?
still the greatest book about lawyers in action
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Many years after it's initial printing, Seven Minutes is still possibly the best book about Lawyers in action ever written. Taking a stand in the face of incredible odds, the main character risks his personal and professional life to defend a book that has stirred up controversy due to it's rather titilating subject matter. It's a wonderful story, not only life affirming but exhilerating in it's twists and turns.
Interesting legal fiction re pornography and trial of a book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a remarkable book about a book fictional supposedly written in the 1930s, entitled "The Seven Minutes," and written by fictional writer J. J. Janeway, which details the thoughts and passions that a woman experiences during the seven minutes from the commencement of intercourse to orgasm. The book, which is read by a minor and who then is supposedly is so aroused that he rapes a woman, is accused itself of rape. The concepts are novel and the court scenes are highly realistic. (I am a trial lawyer, and I don't often say this about any book or movie).
