The Chamber

Rating:
Summary: READ THIS BOOK
Review: I am a relatively new Grisham fan, and this is the best book of his that I have read so far. I loved _The Firm_, _The Pelican Brief_, _The Client_ and _The Runaway Jury_, but this was so incredible it's hard to put into words. Anyone who reads _The Chamber_ will become an instant opposer of the death penalty and all its cruelty. Yes, there is less action than in his previous books, but this opens up space for a theme that will bowl you over.

Rating:
Summary: Good but lacks courtroom drama action!
Review: Great story with adequate characterisation. However, if you're expecting some actions as in the movie, you'll be disappointed. In return, you'll probably discover the detailed process of a legal execution and read the thought of a prisoner about to be executed.

Summary: Y-A-W-N
Review: This book is BORING. It's slow moving and I wonder how John Grisham thought of such a boring plot. He is a good writer and has written many interesting books but this book is a total disappointment.

Rating:
Summary: magnificent thriller

Summary: magnificent
Review: The book is a suspensful thriller which is impossible to find out untill the last page which tells everything.

Rating:
Summary: Boring, no suspense
Review: We read all of Grisham's books and found this the worst. It is boring and could last a half of the pages without losing anything. We only kept reading because we were hoping for something to happen at last, but it never happened.

Rating:
Summary: Kept waiting for it to get intriguing or at least exciting.
Review: Where was the punch to the book? Very mundane. No suspense. More like a documentary on death row inmates.

Rating:
Summary: Everlasting nothingness
Review: John Grisham is one of the best authors there is who can write very long about nothing, and this book prooves it. Really, after about 20 pages nothing more happens, but Grisham just won't stop writing. The Chamber is a boring book that simply didn't need to be written. Grisham tries to make the dull story a bit interesting by making his standard young-lawyer hero into the convict's grandson, but he never really bothers to explore what this might do to both of them. And as I said, you can't really tell what he does insted, since it seems as if he's just putting words on the paper without knowing where he's going.

Summary: enthralling!! How does he do it !
Review: No one writes like Grisham and this is his best yet; the suspense is high throughout the book and peaks at the end. The characters are developed so fully, and the story flows so well it completely engrosses the reader. The reader can't help but to give thought to the great debate at hand. Don't miss this book !
