Rating: Summary: BORING AND A WASTE OF TIME Review: I have read all of John Grisham's books and enjoyed them all except for this one. I found it boring - I don't know why I bothered to finish the whole book.
Rating: Summary: GRIPPING NON STOP & UNPERDICTABLE Review: I could not put this book down. I have been reading The Chamber for about three weeks. The last 200 pages took me about 3 hours. Gripping and intense this book will hold you with it's hard hitting reality. I also gaurentee the ending is a shocker. This is the third Grisham book I have read (also street lawer & The partner) and by far it was the most captivating yet. I am waiting to hit the book store soon so I can grab The Firm. I've heard great things and the more books I read from Grisham the more I want to conqer his entire collection.
Rating: Summary: This book is a work of art Review: As always, Grisham gives us a well researched & well written poignant reminder of what may be wrong with our directionless society. The book looks very critically (not cynically) at the death penalty and all the complex issues involved. Grisham's insights into the judicial system are eye openers. If u like his other work, you'll love this.This is Grisham at his best. Period.
Rating: Summary: A book to be red by everyone. Review: i have read four to five of grishams books.among them i find this one the best.grisham gives a sad ending which will make anyone to shed a drop of tear.the death penalty and the racism has been discussed in detailed manner.
Rating: Summary: A Great book Review: This is a really great boo
Rating: Summary: Heavy and depressing, but yet fun to read. Review: I hoped to see the earthbreaking "wait", at the last second of the excution but harsh reality didn't seem to care what I hoped. Grisham's way of building the plot and expressing charactors' emotions are awsome. Learned alot about death low.
Rating: Summary: Grisham's worst by far... Review: I was surprised Grisham could write something this boring. This is by FAR his worst novel. Halfway interesting at the get-go, this story just turns into a sleeper. I didn't think it was ever going to end (with a predictable ending might I add). Are we supposed to feel sorry for this convicted murderer? I think not. The movie's even worse.
Rating: Summary: So, Grisham isn't a total hack afterall! Review: This is really a remarkable story -- rather a dark look at death row and capital punishment without being preachy (obviously Grisham's a liberal; all his books tout this, but one can overlook it here). It's not really the expected plot-driven fluff. It's a very moving and mature drama, full of details of life on death row which, though perhaps fictionalized, give one a glimpse of an experience quite beyond the norm. I didn't think Grisham could pull off something this good.
Rating: Summary: Complex and unique, but could be better. Review: I have read this and the Rainmaker. Which was better? Take a guess. The Chamber had a good start, and I liked the characters because they all had good personalities and were outstandinly believable. However, I found it a tad boring, and was dragging on. I am a very avid reader, even at fourteen, and quite frankly I did not enojoy this book as much as I thought I would. Perhaps my expectations were too large (?). Eventhough not my style, I would recommend it to people who enjoy learning about death row and the likes. I personally found it inspiring for my own novel.
Rating: Summary: This was a great book. Review: This book was very interesting. It was captive
