The Last Juror (2006)

This was the first John Grisham book that I ever read. A friend recommended Sycamore Row and sent me an e-book to read. E-books are not my favorite format. I prefer paper. But I liked what I managed to read of the book. Here was an author who knew how to keep the reader's interest.My interest ...

Book

The Testament (1999)

Though different from many of his other books, I think The Testament goes down as one of my Grisham favorites. Troy Phelan, a self-made billionaire, jumps to a spectacular death after signing a will leaving his fortune to an unknown daughter, Rachel Lane, and spurning his six other children by th...

The Partner (2005)

"To Tell The Truth?"Quite a few years ago, there was a television show called "To Tell the Truth" in which a celebrity panel, egged on by a celebrity moderator, would try to guess which of three guest panelists, when quizzed about their lives and circumstances, would turn out to be the actual nam...

Book

The Street Lawyer (2005)

One of my favourite authors is John Grisham. His books are one of the reasons that I decided to study Law for my degree. Even though his portrayal of the law and the job that comes with it is slightly exaggerated and intense, I believe there is truth behind his novels. He is an American lawyer sp...

The Summons (2005)

So I'm at my mom's house drooling over her book collection...Okay, I'm lying. I'm looking over two shelves of either leftover college books in uninteresting subjects or my mother's extension collection of John Grisham books. They're all in hardcover. Let's just say she's a huge fan. I've avoided ...

Book

The King of Torts (2005)

Several years ago, I read everything John Grisham wrote. I guess, though, burnout set in, and after I read The Brethren, I was done with Grisham. I liked The Brethen enough. I guess. I just can't say that I remember it very well. In any case, I was tired of legal thrillers. Other than An Innocent...

Book

The Client (2010)

This was my first John Grisham novel. It won't be the last since I've heard a few good things about The Testament, but that one might be my last if there isn't some improvement on a few things.I have to compare this one to the movie a bit since that flick is a fave, and I think this is one of th...

Book

A Painted House (2004)

Not a crime novel at all. I started this book thinking it was another one of those much appraised courtroom crime novels that've made Grisham rich and famous but no- it is a simple yet an effective book about the paradox of human choices and relationships, not only amongst themselves but with ea...

Book

The Pelican Brief (2006)

The Pelican Brief is not my favorite John Grisham audiobook. I like his stories about young, hotshot lawyers going up against multi-million dollar insurance companies and things like that. Instead, The Pelican Brief is about a law student who has to go on the run after inadvertently identifyi...

The Pelican Brief (2006) by John Grisham
Book

The Brethren (2005)

I would not say I'm a reluctant John Grisham reader. I just haven't felt a dying urge to search out his novels. Maybe I'm just afraid of any sort of legal setting and try to avoid it in any medium it's presented in. Finally, I picked up a paperback of Grisham's novel, Runaway Jury and plodded thr...

The Brethren (2005) by John Grisham
Book

A Time to Kill (2004)

Considered Grisham's best novel by many readers far more perspicacious than moi, this well-written, emotionally-charged thriller certainly delivers. While it doesn't rank as my eye's own personal apple, I can certainly see why it is esteemed by fans of both the legal-thriller and Grisham. Despite...

The Appeal (2008)

This was my first John Grisham book, and I didn't really know what to expect. It was assigned for my book club because we wanted to read something Earth Day–related and this seemed to have an environmental message. Well, even though I'm sort of baffled and bored by the realities of stocks and leg...

Theodore Boone: The Activist

The highway peeked over a steep hill, and suddenly, spread below it, were the beautiful blue waters that stretched a mile wide and seemed to run forever to their source.
