This is one of my favorite books by William Diehl. It's characters are so real, so well developed that you fall right into the story from the beginning. Aaron Stampler is found standing over the beloved Archbishop Rushman holding the weapon that caused his death. Cushman is known for his love,compassion,and work with troubled youth. Aaron Stampler is one of those kids. Yet here he is holding the weapon and standing over the dead Archbishop. Did he do it? Aaron pleads do he didn't, he just found the Archbishop and stupidity picked up the knife. The police don't believe him and book him for the murder. Aaron Stampler is so complex, deeply troubled, yet as sympathetic a character you could every find. You will be constantly drawn deeper into his world of pain and abuse.

Martin Vail is the 'hot shot lawyer who meets with Aaron and takes the case. At first to him it's just another case, yeah, yeah sure he didn't do, but I'll do my job and get the kid off. Why? I'm just that great 'hot shot' lawyer. Slowly things change, stuff stops adding up. The Archbishop maybe isn't what they say. Aaron makes bold claims against him. And suddenly Vail realizes this is much uglier and sicker than he could have thought. That Aaron could truly be innocent. Though many twists and turns you are kept both guessing sand on the edge of your seat until the final unbelievable last twist.

Primal Fear William Diehl 9780345914521 Books Reviews

I really wish I could give this book ten stars!
Arron is a psychological, schizophrenic. Only he doesn't think he is. In his mind he's only a 19 year old who doesn't know what he wants to do in life. He suffers from black outs. When he's in a black out here comes Roy to the rescue. Or is Roy the bad one? Split personalities are just one of the minds way of staying safe and sane.
I totally recommend reading this book! It captures you from the very first page! But be forewarned that this is an absolute mind boggling journey full of twists and turns with a very wicked ending!
If you are ever in need of an attorney, you want someone like Martin Vail on your side! When told that he had to take the case of the boy who killed the archbishop as a pro bono case, Vail knew it was a punishment for his recent win against the city. Though Aaron Stampler professes his innocence, he is found hiding in a confessional with blood all over him and a carving knife in his hand. The same carving knife used to kill the archbishop. The DA figures that this is a slam-dunk case, while Martin Vail tries to figure out a way to save Aaron from death row. As the legal battle unfolds, you will be taken in by the very nature of the crime, the personality of the accused, and the secrets that the powers -that- be do not want revealed.

I'll just say this...everything is not as it seems, and when all is said and done...it still isn't over.
What a book! I suppose this is more of a whodunit or whydoneit than a thriller, but that didn't make it any easier to put down.
Marty, the top defense attorney is handed a pro bono case, mainly so that the forces in power (DA, judiciary, etc.) can see him floored by an open-and-shut case he can't win in a thousand years. Only Marty never gives up. Not even when maybe he should.
The book is wonderfully written, giving us insight into all the players, major and minor alike. Some reviewers compared it to the movie ... but let's face it, a movie can't be more than an illustration for a book. To get the real/full picture, you need to read this book, not rely on a movie.
A good book a little outside my recent genre. Enjoyed the lawyer Martin and his work. The size of book and the pace of the story would have suffered but would have loved a little more of what made the prosecutor tick.
Enjoyed the twist but the thing that downed the experience was poor editing. Seriously?
Did someone just hit the change all in their word program? Consistent mes where the should be thes . Other similar mistakes elsewhere. Sorry but that stole from the story.
If you have seen the movie based on the book, you will be pleasantly surprised that the only actor that fits Martin Vail is definitely the yummy hottie, Richard Gere! It's almost as if this part was written for him! So book or movie 1st? Geez! That's a tough one! The book does have some vast differences but primarily goes into much more details of Martin's personality & Aaron's back story, just to name a couple of those differences but the main premise is intact! I saw the movie several times before reading Mr Diehl's novel & found that the visuals fit the characters very well & kept the flow of the book moving nicely with what had been presented on screen! So the movie first went very well for me. Only issue with that was the surprise ending was no longer a surprise ending!

Regardless which version you choose, it's a frighteningly horrific murder & the twists & turns in both movie & novel is well worth your perusal! I'm quite a fan of William Diehl's books & I count this as one of his best!
Good book, fast read. Much better and more disturging than the movie. The book goes into much more detail and the reader gets to know Aaron better. An ending that you can see coming but is none the less is surprising and shocking. A homeless, stutterting kid with the face of a angel commits a horrifying murder. He is caught with ease but claims he remembers nothing. He has, as has happened before," lost time". The case should be a shoe in for the Prosecution. Everything points to this young man and he is a perfect candidate for the death penalty. The defense attorney is assigned the case pro bono. He's tough, smart, successful in defending criminals and does eveyrthing his way. But politics and powerful people have decided he has to suffer a loss, and be put in his place. He does a stellar job of defending this kid. That Aaron has committed this awful murder of an Archbishop is not in question but is he really responsible for his actions? A dark and twisting psychological drama. I could not put the book down. The battles in the court room were terrific. I read it in less than two days. I could guess the ending but it still left me stunned. Primal Fear may have been around for a while but its's a great read. Highly recommended.
