I
think I have read almost all of the John
Grisham's over the years – including the ones with baseball settings. You have to admire an author who can keep
churning out page turners.

some of the plots are a bit formulaic – but this just means you know what you
are getting.
Grisham
wrote his first novel – A Time to Kill - while working full time in a law
practice in Mississipi. It was no more
than a modest success in 1988.
It
was his second book The Firm that marked his success as an author. I think it is still my favourite.
One of my favorite authors is John Grisham. The book was far better than the movie. A favorite of mine that he wrote was The Street Lawyer which touched on the lives of the homeless in Washington, D.C.
ReplyDeleteA Time To Kill is one of my favorite books and movies! Love him. My son even reads his kids books!!
ReplyDeleteWow! He has really written one book a year ever since!
ReplyDeleteI have two favourites: The Client and Pelican Brief. I've re-read both a few times and they never grow old. I also enjoyed Skipping Christmas which was a deviation from his legal thrillers and was just fun! I've missed reading a few of his newer novels but have read most of his older ones. He is definitely one of my all time favourites!
I've read A LOT of his books, but then they got to formulaic for me and thus boring. However, I love many of the books I read. A Time to Kill and The Painted House being my two favorites. I agree with ....Budget - that the books have all been better than the movies.
