Summary: NOT one of his best!
Review: Compared to some of the other Grisham books - this one completely lacks the tension. The plot is too simple, and the only exciting bit is whether they are gonna execute the guy or not..There is loads of good books out there, so pick another one.
Rating: 
Summary: Thought provoking but not satisfying
Review: While this book does make one think, it isn't really good fiction. The characters never achieve much more depth than they start the book with and the plot doesn't take the reader to any conclusion that feels complete. The book has the feel of a piece of true crime writing about a lackluster case. If John Grisham is really a writer of 'popular' fiction he certainly missed his audience with this one.

Summary: Exciting Legal Mystery
Review: John Grisham once again turns out a great story
Rating:
Summary: A great Grisham novel, but a bit slower than others
Review: This is a great Grisham novel, with most of the classic pieces of his novels, including the great young lawyer attacking a big case. This book is more emotionally charged than others, due mostly to the subject matters. Due to the lack of "court room drama" this book reads a bit slower, but do not give up on this book! It is the whole picture that is worth it, not just pieces.

Summary: Green Mile without the hocus pocus
Review: Grisham did a good job of describing the death penalty and the legal process surounding it. Some of the characters are a little weak but the story is fast paced and the plot does have some cool suprises. Not his greatest novel, but well worth a read.

Summary: STAY AWAY
Review: Note to John Grisham: If you're going to push your views on capital punishment on the public in any future books, please have the decency to ascribe at least one redeeming quality in the death-row character. Give us a little reason for caring. What a waste of time this book was. Any person who opposes the death penalty and reads this book will quickly change their mind. It's incredible to believe that this is the best that the author could come up with to support his view that capital punishment is wrong. He could have fooled me! Skip the book. Jam a nail in your eye. It's probably not as painful.

Summary: A Great Book for All Readers!
Review: The Chamber by John Grisham is a captivating novel about a former white supremisist and terrorist's last ditch attempts for freedom, and eventually his last days, on death row. It's an emotionally charged story that grips your interest and doesn't let go. You just can't put it down! The author weaves a tale so compelling even the most avid death penalty supporter might question their beliefs. It is extremely well written but might not be interesting to younger readers, and maybe even a bit too lengthy. Besides that, I'd reccommend it to virtually any reader. So check out The Chamber by John Grisham, another superbly written novel by one of America's favorite authors.

Summary: Too slow for my taste!
Review: This is the least of John Grisham's works. I found it slow and at times boring. He attempts to make a case against capital punishment (not a very good one however) and his political agenda overshadows the story line. Worth reading but only if you have already read his other books.
Rating:
Summary: edge of your seat, compelling, heart-breaking
Review: Ive read several John Grisham books and I have to tell you, Ive loved every one of them. I thinks its because every single one keeps you guessing. Every time you thought you had the ending figured out it changed. This book although a fictional story really makes you rethink your personal standing towards the death penatly. I found myself at many times during the book with wet eyes over the way John Grisham describes the scene, the smells and the emotions of the characters in teh story. All in all - I loved it!
