Pros: Excellent plot & well-developed main characters Cons: None
This is the first Grisham novel I have ever read and it won't be the last! I never thought that I would ever enjoy a mystery/suspense book. However, after watching the movie, I was compelled to read this book. Now, I plan to read Grisham's other...
Pros: Marks saga is exciting and even sometimes hilarious. Cons: Marks saga comes with a lot of baggage.
Plot:
A mob tough guy (Barry the Blade Muldanno) murders a very important senator. His lawyer kills himself and two boys witness it. One goes into shock and is hospitalized; the other learns secrets about the murder. The FBI wants those...
Pros: the way the story moves, the characters, and everything else Cons: didn't particularly like the movie version
I have read (and re-read) all the Grisham books, sometimes thinking I wish I could call John Grisham, and say "Hurry up, will you? I finished that one in one day!" - Maybe I should wait to buy them, so that I will finish closer to the time that the next...
Pros: Great Story with Edge of Your Seat Suspense Cons: You won't be able to put it down
I have to admit that I'm not a big reader. Sure, I pick up the occasional paperback every now and then, but I usually lose them before I finish reading them.. I guess I'm just to busy.
A friend of mine read this book and couldn't stop talking...
The Client, one of my favorite Grisham books. This was the first of his books I ever read and I have been hooked ever since. This is just a great book from start to finish.
This is the story of a boy and his brother who stumble onto a...
Pros: Great story, solid character development Cons: none, really
This has to be the best of Grisham's four original novels. It has the most solid storyline, and it develops the characters more than any of his other four originals I've read. The writing style of this book is great, not just focusing on one...
Pros: Great book, suspenseful and interesting Cons: Possibly too realistic, graphic descriptions
From the first sentence of "The Client" on, I was hooked. Who can resist an introduction with a ten year old boy smoking? Such a great beginning is nothing compared to the rest of the book. I honestly think this is the best book I've ever...
Pros: Draws you in slowly, then sort of grabs you with both hands. Cons: I can't think of anything that I didn't like about this book.
I enjoyed reading this book...it draws you in very slowly but once you
hit upon the main plot of this book, you may not want to put it down until you reach the ending. The main characters are 2 young boys and they get accidentally caught up in a...
Pros: A very complex plot Cons: some degree of luck involved
The Client realistically portraits a 11 yr old Mark Sway's mind. He knew about a suicide and the mob threatened him not to tell anyone about the truth. Similar to The Firm, John Grisham takes a book from different characters perspective and thus letting...
Pros: Great characterizations; Grisham's descriptions paint a vivid picture; Hard to put down Cons: Ending was hastily drawn up and did not tie all loose ends
I have read most of Grisham's books and 'The Client' rates right up there with his best works (including 'The Firm', 'A Time to Kill', and 'The Rainmaker').
Reggie Love and Mark Sway are two of the greatest characters that he has contrived....
Pros: Good Story, Good description of child's mentality. Cons: Sometimes too slow.
Preface
John Grisham has excelled in potraying the emotions of a child's mind in this novel. The novel begins at a very brisk pace and as the previous review says seems to loose some pace and stutters to a decent end.
Pros: Reggie Love Cons: Hope Reggie's in Another Book
This is a great premise with a couple of minor flaws. In this tale, an eleven-year-old witnesses a suicide and hears a death bed confession as he watches the mob lawyer die. Now this kid just has to tell the Louisiana police what he knows and then...
I don't usually read books on crime, but I must admit, this one had my attention clamped in a vise for a few multi-hour sessions. Here is a brief synopsis of the novel.
It begins with mafia head, Barry "The Blade" Muldano's attorney, attempting to...
Pros: Very strong female character Cons: Didn't find any
I picked up The Client in an airport bookstore during an unplanned very long layover. I thought this would be a good time to see what all the fuss was about John Grisham. I had finished the book on that particular business trip. I just couldn't put...
In the two years since The Firm first captured the imagination of America s readers, John Grisham, with three consecutive number-one bestsellers, has ...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
