John Grisham

Post by roalf »

Well, I know John Grisham is not a new author like JK Rowling or Dan Brown but he's a great novel author! (Well they're not that new either. Blah! :D

Anyway, does anyone of you guys read any of his books? Here are some of his works. I've already read all of these. There are more of his works that I'm trying to find but no luck so far.


- A Painted House - About a family of cotton farmers in Arkansas. Pretty touching.

- Skipping Christmas - About a guy who's sick and tired of spending fortune during the holidays and wanted to skip it and take a cruise instead.

- The Client - About two boys who witnessed a suicide of the lawyer of the suspect of the murder of a senator. (Whoa! 4 "ofs" LOL! :D

- The Firm - About a mysterious law firm which is run by a notorious group.

- The Last Juror - About a ****/murder trial. Some of the jurors are being killed.

- The Street Lawyer - About a typical rich lawyer turned into a street lawyer, helping the poor people, thus forgetting his luxurious life.

- The Testament - About a last will and testament of the 10th richest guy in America. He screwed up his family one last time before he died.

I read The Firm some time ago. Its a very good read.. I never read the Pelican Brief but the film is a must see. Even Julia Roberts can't spoil this story. Runaway Jury is another yarn that you hope will only ever be fictional. As for these and A Time to Kill the stories make such great movies that its hard to get around to reading the books :roll:

ive totally turned off to reading him by simply the amount of books he has in the airport bookstores. kiosks, anywhere in europe and usa filled with his books, and i also have some difficulty taking seriously in literature a man who can write soo many books a year. must not be deep i say..... then again, i havent read it.

peace.
