Fast-Paced Book

Having read most of Grisham's books, I've saved a few of his "best" for last. While it wasn't a 5 star book like I'd hoped, it certainly was one of his better books with a lot of detail and of course the plot was an interesting one.

Having saw the movie years ago, I had a good idea of what the book was about: Two Supreme Court Justices are killed, a law school student, along with many other people become curious and try to figure out "who dun it"...only, she writes a brief and hits the nail on the head, and when the wrong people find out, she's on the run for her life!

I enjoyed the book mostly because it was fast-paced, and had a lot of detail. So much detail and characters, I had a bit of a struggle to keep up! Of course it was suspenseful and the characters, especially of Darby, the law school student and the reporter who starts to help her uncover the truth. Good read!

Fun non stop action!

The Pelican Brief is one of John Grisham's more fast paced and exciting book.

Two supreme court justices are murdered by someone who does such a good job that there are few if any clues to go on. Darby Shaw and her lover/professor are intrigued by who could have done this so Darby does a ton of research and writes the "Pelican Brief". Her boyfriend/professor is a good friend of someone in the FBI and the file gets distributed. The bad guys find out about Darby, who apparently has hit the suspects right on and the chase begins.

This book is very entertaining with nonstop action. You'll be constantly turning the page to see how Darby and friends etc keep escaping and how the plot will unfold.

The only problems with the book are as follows:

1 - The book has so many characters that it gets confusing at times

2 - The book is all action and adventure and little else. Once it's done you'll never go back and read it again. This would make a very poor book club book.

3 - A little over the top on the implied sex etc between Darby and her professor etc... (but nothing compared to what you'll get in other books)

Overall a very entertaing and exciting book but not a lot of "soul". I would definitely recomend it to anyone who likes action books.

The pelican bried

The Pelican Brief is about how two Supreme Court justices who get murdered on the same night, and why they were murdered. A law student named Darby writes a brief explaining why the two judges were killed. Darby's brief which started out as just a crazy idea ends up hitting it spot on. So now she's on the run for her life. The book gets a little confusing with all the characters and all the information it sometimes hard to keep up. Overall it was a good read. If you like fast pace books with plenty of information the Pelican Brief is the book for you!

Suspense and Entertainment

Now this is a good story - I picked up this book at work and started reading on a Saturday morning and didn't stop until I had finished the book.

The author takes Darby Shaw and the reader on a roller coaster of adventure. After reading a book like this it's hard to not be suspicious of any politicians death or unexpected retirement as being part of some dark and unseemly plot.

You know that character development is good when you are rooting for Darby to not only survive but get to the bottom of the scheme she is uncovering.
