The Fall of the House of Zeus tells the story of Dickie Scruggs, arguably the most successful plaintiff's lawyer in America. A brother-in-law of Trent Lott, the former U.S. Senate majority leader, Scruggs made a fortune taking on mass tort lawsuits against "Big Tobacco" and the asbestos industries. He was hailed by Newsweek as a latter-day Robin Hood and portrayed in the movie The Insider as a dapper aviator-lawyer.

Great Read!
Revisado: 12-30-15
What made the experience of listening to The Fall of the House of Zeus the most enjoyable?
The narrator was not mono-toned at all!
What did you like best about this story?
The intertwined web of connections and betrayal.
What about Sean Runnette’s performance did you like?
His inflections! Really gave the story a feeling of a thriller.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The lawyer's interaction with Zak after he left his sentencing. I could feel the burn of those words.
Any additional comments?
I would recommend this book to anyone. It really is an button pusher, since I could not help but press play every time I had a chance to listen. I am about to listen to it again. It was so well written and narrated. Great non-fiction book!
