The King of Torts
Clay Carter has been at the office of the public defender too long and, like most of his colleagues, dreams of a better job in a real firm. When he reluctantly takes the case of a young man charged with a random street killing, he assumes it is just another of the many senseless murders that hit D.C. every week. As he digs into the background of his client, Clay stumbles on a conspiracy too horrible to believe. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a complex case against one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, looking at the kind of enormous settlement that would make him, almost overnight, the legal profession’s newest king of torts...
The Last Juror
In 1970, one of Mississippi’s more colorful weekly newspapers went bankrupt. The future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courthouse, and the trial came to a startling end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison. But in Mississippi in 1970, "life" didn’t necessarily mean "life," and nine years later Padgitt was paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began. ... Read more

A Time to Kill
i thought that this book was very anticipating yet interesting. it kept me wanting to read it until the end.theres some action in it and theres a lot of drama on both sides of the conflict.although much of the book was in the courtroom i could say that much action was taken place outside of the courthouse.there are characters that i think the author makes u not like which is understandable considering what they've done.then theres the people u feel sympathy for and can do nothing about it. overall i would rate this a 4 star novel

Aroused by the "hidden" truth of life and humans.
Not exactly a fan of Grisham's novel but 'A Time to Kill' did open up mymind on terms of justice and the meaning of law.The "beauty" ofdiscrimination and the "joy" of suffer and anguish.Personally,I'm impressed with the theme that he presented and the flow of his idea incaptivating the reader's point of view.To be able to "sense" themeaning of democracy and to share the same enthusiasm makes me merelyimpressed with his writing.What we've read in his novels are some of thenormal "thing" that happens in our lives but it takes so muchmore in "bringing" it to life.That is what John Grisham has doneto me and definately to all his readers.

entertaining
" A time to Kill" - the most fascinating novel I ever read ..ithasa mixture of drama,suspense,action and comedy..it has everything thatwill make your reading time unnotice as if you don't want to stop until theend...more power to John Grisham....

An Excellent Collection
John Grisham is an excellent writer, and this collection of four of hisworks is great.The story behind The Chamber is griping, strong andemotional.The Client is a quick paced enjoyable book, and A Time to Killis an incredible book of the justice system in our country.I was neverextremely fond of Pelican Brief, so I'll leave out a comment on it. Excellent books for people of any age.

Was the point missed?
Half way through I started to lose interest. I have an opinion about capital punishment, and John Grisham caused me to examine it more closely.However, the point to me was not whether or not it is it right, but why does it take so long to carry our these sentences?I suspect his motivation for writing this book may lie, in part, in an attempt to sway the reader to his thinking. The book drags for the last half, and I wasn't swayed. ... Read more

Description in Spanish:

"&¿Quién piensa en abogados? Grisham no, desde luego, al menos en esta cautivadora novela.

Item great vs. dealer bad
The item/book that I ordered came in perfect condition! However, I was not impressed with the service of the seller. I was not provided any tracking information and was told that none was available. I also read that the item would be shipped from NJ, but when it was actually shipped it came from the UK. I would have been fine with this if it was presented this way and not in a misleading way as it was on the site. I just ask that this seller make sure that the information provided on the site is the most accurate, and that he/she might consider adding more accurate shipping information as well.

A MI ME GUSTO!
ESTE LIBRO TE HACE SENTIR COMO SI ESTUVIERAS AHI VIVIENDO LAS SITUACIONES CON EL PERSONAJE. LO UNICO MALO ES QUE ES MUY LENTO Y NO DESARROLLA. LAS HISTORIAS ERAN DIVERTIDAS Y MUY DETALLADAS. ES UN BUEN LIBRO PARA EL QUE LE GUSTAN LAS HISTORIAS RURALES Y CON MUCHOS PERSONAJES. ... Read more

Compelling Reading For All Seasons.
Grisham does it again. A great story but not a great writer, he manages to create suspense and intrigue in his own personal manner. And the best part is that you can read it in a weekend.

A "can't put it down" book!
Besides the fact that you might need a dictionary handy(a bit of legal mumbo jumbo!)-This is a keeper! Don't get discouraged by the first two chapters. You'll get hooked immediately after that! ... Read more

Product Description
'John Grisham's Thrillers' include: "The King of Torts", "The Runaway Jury", "The Pelican Brief" - if it's written by John Grisham, it's a best seller. While the letter of the law provides the benchmark for right and wrong, its spirit is readily questioned by Grisham's characters who struggle with greed, corruption and temptation. Our venture into his fiction focuses on the lawyer, the victim, the criminal, and, the judge. How do they deal with a world, which, like ours, is coloured in shades of grey? This book contains four stimulating themes, four sessions for small groups. Grisham is a committed Christian and many reviewers make interesting comments about his writing. "The Washington Post" describes "The King of Torts" as 'a parable of sorts' and the "New York Times" calls it 'a crusading morality tale'. He has written 14 bestsellers, and six have been made into blockbusting films. This title from the "Connect Bible Study" series is a print version of an exciting, innovative home group series from the web exploring topical issues in a biblical way. ... Read more
