When a single mother and artist receives a juror summons, she's pulled abruptly into the dangerous depths of the criminal underworld in this shocking, psychologically twisted thriller.

Annie Laird is Juror 224. A sculptor with a career going nowhere. A single mother struggling to raise a son. A good citizen who has been summoned to what looks like a rountine tour of civic duty. But the trial she is called to serve on is no ordinary trial. It is a mob trial, whose outcome has been meticulously orchestrated by a man of insidious power and deadly precision. A man who lives by the teachings of Lao Tsu . . . whose magnetism is irresistible . . . whose mind is as brilliant as it is twisted. He is know to some as the Teacher, and he's set his sights on Annie Laird.

Pulled into the most chilling depths of the criminal underworld, Annie will be seduced by double-edged promises, stalked by the spector of terror, then, finally, driven to a shocking decision by the most basic motivation a woman can know. The Juror is a tour de force of crime and obsession, evil and innocence—a story that taps into fears so primal they linger long after the last page has been read.

This is one of the best books I have ever read, and I read all the time. It keeps one riveted to the story right to the last word. I was actually trembling when I finished it, I was so engrossed. It is a wonderful, fabulous book without peer. I highly recommend it. I was delighted to see that there was a movie of this story, and I immediately ordered it from Amazon. I haven't watched it yet, but found that the casting was very close to the characters that I pictured as I read the book. You will never regret buying this book. It is fabulous, fantastic, riveting, and exciting.

I realy enjoyed this book, it is well writen and very exciting. It made me understand why jury selection is so difficult and aparently can be skewed by Smart lawyers, It made mw wonder how many criminals are walking free and also how many innocent people are sitting in jails.
An excellent read I'm sure you will enjoy. If you enjoy Paterson then give GEORGE DAWES GREEN a try.

I couldn't rate the book because the book smells like it was kept in a damp place. I didn't catch that it was an old used book. I don't read it because of the smell an discarded it in the garbage.

After reading Ravens, http://www.amazon.com/Ravens-George-Dawes-Green/dp/0446538973/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1279287512&sr=1-3 , by the same other, I knew I had to scoop up everything he had written.

George Dawes Green is an extremely talented writer, Ive never read anything quite like his books. He literally keeps you on your toes and when you think you have everything figured out, he flips the world upside down! I love all of his books and I most definitely recommend them! In fact I came onto amazon.com to purchase more copies as Christmas gifts last year and everyone recipient loved the books!

This is the best of his books so far. The psychology the Teacher uses on Annie to control her is nothing short of fiendish. But like many people, he overdoes it and underestimates his victim, who learns what he teaches her all too well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gripping legal thriller
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2009
Synopsis:

Single mother, struggling sculptor, and newly selected juror Annie Laird doesn't realize her danger when she agrees to participate in the murder trial of mob boss Louie Buffano. This changes quickly enough when Annie meets "the Teacher," a handsome, dangerous and volatile member of Buffano's familia. The Teacher makes it immediately apparent that if she agrees to cooperate, he can help make her career. If she refuses to do so, her life and that of her son may be forfeit. The tension rises as Annie struggles to find a way to save her family without giving in to the Teacher's increasing demands.

Review:

If the plot sounds vaguely familiar, you may have watched the 1996 movie version with Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin. The audiobook is equally fast paced and absorbing without the strength of Alec Baldwin's portrayal of the Teacher and the weaknesses of Demi Moore's Annie Laird. Overall, The Juror is action packed, suspenseful and highly entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars casual poetry
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2011

it has a style all it's own, it's vivid, makes you feel queasy and anxious and then relieved in places, has properly interesting characters and an economy of language that is poetic rather than journalistic and plotty. Like  Ravens George Dawes Green has a fresh angle, a novel eye and a witty turn.
