The sequel to the genre-defining, landmark bestseller
Presumed Innocent, INNOCENT continues the story of Rusty Sabich and Tommy Molto who are, once again, twenty years later, pitted against each other in a riveting psychological match after the mysterious death of Rusty's wife.
!1: Best Buy I greatly enjoyed "Presumed Innocent" and was excited when I heard that Mr. Turow had written a sequel to catch up with the characters from that book. I enjoyed the chance to see how Rusty, Barbara, Sandy, Tommy, et al had fared in the years since we were first introduced.
Few of the characters are admirable. In fact, Tommy Molto fares better than most in the reader's appraisal of character, I thought. Since Mr. Molto was among the villains of the earlier novel, that was one of the pleasant developments of this update.
Rusty Sabich's motivations in life continue to elude me more than a bit. It doesn't strike me as plausible that a man would stay married to a woman who had murdered his lover and left clues to implicate him in the crime. I don't care how good your marriage counselor is, that's a tough hurdle to clear. Barbara Sabich's motivation for staying in the marriage seem more clear--she's mentally unbalanced. However, Rusty remains a bit of a mystery to me.
I thought a grown-up Nat Sabich was too dense in his seeming inability to put two and two together around many of the important plot points. The chapters written in his voice were my least favorite ones.
Sandy Stern--my favorite character from the first novel--returns to try and pull Rusty's bacon out of the fire again. The years and sickness have dulled neither his mind nor his zeal to work for his client's exoneration.
I thought the story was interesting and had fun exploring it. The writing syle and manner in which elements of the plot unfold are, in my opinion, as enjoyable as in the original.
In reality, I think I would probably give this 3.5 stars, but Amazon only deals in whole numbers here, so I'll go with four. A fun read that, I hope, will be enjoyed by you as much as it was by me. on Sale!
