Summary: Another un-put-down-able Grisham thriller
Comment: After dissapointing many loyal fans with "The Chamber" this latest offering once again confirms his well deserved and widely publicised title of "the master storyteller". No wonder he's raking in the big bucks!!! "The Runaway Jury" provides a facinating, gripping account of a tobacco trial and a lively jury who decide to bend the rules, (some more so than others). As both sides struggle to ensure a victorious outcome, the jury members endure many surprising problems of there own. I won't spoil the ending for you - you will probably know it anyway by about halfway through the book. If you're prepared to suspend reality and delve into the facinating and cynical mind of John Grisham, then prepare yourself for a great read and a few sleepless nights (until you finally finish the thing!). - Rachel McConaghy, Brisbane Australia -

Summary: Happy Easter
Comment: Grisham is excellent at setting up suspense. The pacing of the book is remarkable as each new chapter reveals a bit more of the story. The supporting characters are particularly memorable. Hoppy, the husband of juror Millie, goes through such anguish in the real estate scam set up by the tobacco company that it really touches your heart. But feeling the inside of characters is where the novel seems to fall more into pop fiction than significant literature. Nicholas Easter, the lead, seems more like a mechanism than a man. We're not given enough inner life to see if he's madly in love with Marlee and motivated by that love; or if he's simply the disillusioned law student trying to write the wrongs of big tobacco. We see what he does and are riveted by the rush of events, but we don't feel what he feels. The character of Fitch, the dirty-dealing, jury-tampering intelligence of the tobacco companies is drawn appropriately sinister and dark. We see enough of him to be intrigued, but also miss enough of the man inside to really qualify him as an arch villain. This book works well as a page-burning suspense novel. With a little more insight into human nature, it might also have been a remarkable book. Enjoy Grisham for his command of pacing and sturcture; he is a master!

Summary: Stinking
Comment: This book is a stinking pieece of garbage. It is so disgusting I can't bear to read it anymore. John Grisham and his idiotic juries! Why is every stinking book he has ever written has the word jury in the title and has something to do with them. And the jury in this book isn't even runaway. I bought this book thinking that it would be about a jury who refuses to do a case and runs away. Instead, it's about some jerk who tries to bungle a case involving a tobacco company and some ol' Southern drawler. For garbage, this is your best bet.
