Summary: Good Rainy Afternoon Read
Review: My husband and I are both JG fans and have all his books. I enjoyed this one, despite the opinions of many of the reviewers who have posted. It was different and I found it quite humorous. We were iced in yesterday and it was a nice way to spend the afternoon. There are times when it's not my goal to have to fill my mind with ultra plotting and mind boggling suspense and this one just fit the bill and I thought the end, though predictable, was a fine "touche". So, read at your own risk. Obviously many of us did not enjoy it but then again, many did. I, for one, was not disappointed.

Summary: A Summons for Bad Judgement
Review: I was in the mood for a light, easy read and had not read Grisham in a while...boy was I disappointed. Light and easy it was and all those pages to build up to such a disappointing ending. When I think back to how well written, A Time to Kill was, Grisham should have just stopped there and gone back to practicing law or something else. It truly was a waste of my time and I didn't have that much time to kill in what it took to read ths book.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: Usually I really enjoy Grisham's work. But I felt really cheated with this book. I kept expecting something to happen. The ending was horrible! I feel as if I spent hours reading nothing. Wish I hadn't spent the time on this book at all.

Summary: quick and entertaining read
Review: I picked this up as airplane reading for my next trip, but ended up reading it beforehand. I thought this was one of Grisham's better recent efforts. Although one reviewer here thought the ending was poor, I thought it was well done and wrapped up nicely, though it was perhaps a bit abrupt. (Nowhere near as abrupt as, say, Neal Stephenson's endings, however.) If you liked The Partner (probably my favorite Grisham), you'll probably like this one,

Summary: Worst of Grisham
Review: I am greatly disappointed by this piece of work. I wish John, after his tremendous successful, would have the respect for his followers.This book has very thin plot. John just doodled around to fill pages. A waste of my time and his talent. Don't even deserve the single star, which happens to be the lowest I was allowed to select.

Summary: What the ???
Review: One of the worst reads ever. What was Grisham thinking, or maybe he wasn't, and just needed another check. Waste of time and money.

Summary: Grisham - The Summons
Review: The Summons is not an awful book but it has very few redeeming qualities. The story moves slowly - and that would be okay if it weren't for the poorly developed characters and complete lack of suspense - and I found myself expecting, at some point, something jarring to happen, for the plot to really kick in. And it never did. Even going into the final 100 pages, I hoped that something was going to happen to redeem the time I'd invested in the first 300 pages. There was no payoff. And the ending? Don't get me started. Its as if Grisham, like me, had just had enough and stopped working. I've no doubt that there are better Grisham novels out there. I just sincerely wish I hadn't wasted my time with this one.

Summary: Just so disappointed
Review: From the start to the end, I was expecting somehow it would become better.
But against my expectation, it never did...
It was so frustrating to spend hours reading a book just to find out it was not worth your time, not to speak about the price of it.
