Wilkes Syndrome is the most humorous book since A Confederacy of Dunces; but, it goes beyond humor to capture the blessings and failures in our judicial system. As a former attorney, I spot the sad underlying truth in what the general public would hate to believe true: overzealous prosecutors, lazy, politicized judges, insurance defense attorneys who do not adhere to their duty of candor, honesty, and integrity to the court, their opponents, and the public. Fortunately, they make up a minority...but many of the harmed cannot recover from the damage they do. Wilkes, a great read that I hated to see end.
