The Innocent Man
John Grisham
Dell, 2007
Grishams best book
I've read this book twice now, and I'm still enamored with it. I found the characters interesting, and sad. The story was well told, and was an eye opener. What really gets me is that this book was a true story, and I feel horrible for the miscarriage of justice ...

The Appeal
John Grisham
Doubleday, 2008
Overly Political and not Grisham's best
I think the name of my review says it all. While I have not read all of Grisham's books this is the first that I have read that has a clear political message - it yells "HANDS OFF TORT REFORM" and "JUDGES NEED TO BE APPOINTED".
While I don't have a problem with ...

The Street Lawyer
John Grisham
Delta, 2005
John Grisham
This was the first book I read by this author. I loved it. IT was so emotional! I could empathize for him. I felt like I was there in the room during the hostage part! When the guy's brain were on his face, I was disgusted along with him!!!! I could imagine it all ...

Bleachers
John Grisham
Delta, 2007
A Great Story!
I picked up this book being very skeptical, not knowing what I was diving into because I had heard and read some pretty bad reviews on this book. I love John Grisham and keeping in mind that he is famous for his legal thrillers I didn't really know if I was going to ...

The Testament
John Grisham
Island Books, 1999
The Testament
Superior book as are all Grisham novels. This has an unusual twist and a truly rewarding ending that made me feel good. A fast read that kept me enthused from start to finish.

Playing For Pizza: A Novel
John Grisham
Doubleday, 2007
not your typical Grisham
Though this is not your typical "lawyer" book by Grisham, it is a fun read. You must read it with an open mind. It IS fiction! I enjoyed all aspects of the story, from the football playing, to the little bit of love story mixed in. I thought it was well-written and ...

The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town
John Grisham
Doubleday, 2006
Great for Anne Rule fans
I thuroughly enjoyed this book. I'm a huge Grisham fan, as well as a huge Anne Rule fan. I don't know if it's good or bad that I kept forgetting it was a Grisham book and not a Rule book. I felt the detail and the realism were right on. I didn't read anything about the ...

The Broker

low-key suspense

A Painted House
John Grisham
Delta, 2004
This is one of my all-time favorite novels
Wow, Grisham blew me away with his ability to write a novel that didn't involve an attorney (or two) and a court room. This book transports you into The South and guides you to imagine what it would be like to experience the story in person. It was very well written ...

The Last Juror
John Grisham
Delta, 2006
Warm novel of the changing times
The title may suggest a legal thriller but The Last Juror ,while it does revolve around a murder-rape trial and its aftermath is not a bbok that fits snugly into this category.The trial is that of Danny Padgett,a member of a notorious criminal family in Ford County ...

The Brethren
John Grisham
Island Books, 2000
Hysterical
This book is absolutely marvelous. Very very funny, very very entertaining. As is usual for a Grisham book, no one is exactly the "good guy" in The Brethren, everyone is kind of their own bad guy, and you feel like cheering for all of them. I loved this- it's ...

The Chamber
John Grisham
Delta, 2005
The Chamber Review...great!
A wonderful book although I am late in reading it based on the publication date.
It kept me up late reading it and the characters were well written.
Slightly disapppointed in the late Rollie appearance which I thought Lee was tied to but never the less Sam protected ...

The Client
John Grisham
Delta, 2005
Off to See the Wizard
After reading the bestselling paperback "The Firm," I fell into the habit of reading John Grisham's novels. Of the half dozen titles that I read, this is probably the best of the lot. I would rate it as being better than several of his other better known novels.

Gwen Hailey calls her husband Carl Lee at work, tells him their daughter, ten-year-old Tonya is missing. Carl Lee isn't all that worried though, because his wife tends to be, well a little protective. However when he gets home he's met with the news that Tonya has been ...
