Summary: AN INTRIGUING & MOVING TALE
Review: The Chamber has to be John Grisham's best book. It is thought provoking and full of moral and arguments that make sense. The story progresses smoothly as well. To add to that, The Chamber is proof that John Grisham can induce sadness. The book raises many controiversial points against the death penalty and I think that the addition of these comments render the book infinitely substantial. There is also an argument on racism which is to be considered. The book is a rare breede book that makes you think and cry, the book that demands attention, the book that makes you hate the death penalty. Read the book, you'll be glad you did.

Summary: Terrific plot and very informative about deathrow procedures
Review: The Chamber was only the third book I had read by John Grisham, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It made me start looking for more titles by him. I liked the fact that the lawyer in the story was a grandson of the deathrow convict and it showed a personal side of the convict, as well as the procedures leading up to the final hours. The book made me feel like I was right there with the characters, feeling the heat, hearing the sounds, and more!

Summary: I love it!
Review: Ok, maybe you will find the story and plot are different from his other books. The book IS really different and I love it! Grisham presents us a dynamic human drama as he depicts the relationship between a man who is sentenced to death and his grandson. I understand some people might find the story boring, but that is because they try to put his books into one category--trial and victory. If you read the book from a different angle, you will fully enjoy the story. It is quite surprising for me to find Grisham is a writer who is able to explore human mentality.

Summary: Good Book!
Review: Very enjoyable, however not as good as some others but I'm a loyal Grisham fan. The book is definitely better than the movie.

Summary: BORING!!!!!
Review: Did John Grisham REALLY write this book??? I am a huge fan of John Grisham, but this book is defintely not John Grisham at his best. This book could have been started and finished in 100 pages or less...it just goes on and on and on... and then has a very predictable ending! Steer clear of this one and read the books before and after!

Summary: WONDERFUL!!!! Take the time to read this book!!!!
Review: Grisham writes a wonderful book!!! This book caught my attention and kept me reading! That is hard to thing to do because I'm a very picky reader. It brings up the ethical ideas of the death penelty. It really made me think if "An eye for an eye" justice was the best form. It also portrays the procedures used by lawyers to avoid the death penelty for their client. I think that John Grisham is at his best in this book. It's a real treat for those who take the time to read it!

Summary: did grisham really write it?
Review: The Rainmaker is my favorite book. I'm only 11 so you may find me a bit immature to recommend a book to a person who is an adult. I was extremely dissapointed with this novel. The plot was extremely dull, and I could only bring myself to read half of it. I am still questioning whether or not Grisham actually wrote this book. It dragged on almost as badly as "Titanic" and was a complete waste of time. I sincerely do not recommend it to anyone, even if you do enjoy the author's books as much as I do. It is not as exhililrating as "The Firm" and "The Pelican Brief," as heartwarming as "The Rainmaker" and "The Street Lawyer," and the book is just a disappointment. I have sympathy for anyone who brought them through the entire book.

Summary: Waste of Time!!!!!
Review: I was extremely offended by the fact that Grisham seems to dwell on a lawyer who doesn't seem to care for the family of those who were killed or that justice needs to be served. Adam Hall just wants to waste his time, dwelling on his stupid liberal antics on why his grandfather should not die. You tend to develop a real sense of hate towards him. However, the only reason I give this book 1 star (other than the fact that this site won't let me give less) is the fact that at the end, justice is served in that Sam Cayhall is put to death. I kept waiting for some twist in the plot, or some dark secrets to come out, but they never did. This book was an utter waste of my time. I cannot believe that the author of books as great as The Firm and The Rainmaker really wrote this junk. I strongly urge you to not read it!!!

Summary: NOT HIS BEST BUT THE MOST HEART-TOUCHING...............
Review: I feel so sad when reading some of the reviews. One of the most recent ones even commented the book is horrible. It really disheartens me to see that many of the reasons given are usually saying the story is not nteresting, no plots ....etc.I really would like to say something for the book. I agree that The Chamber is not John Grisham's best book. When you compare it to fast-paced stories like The Firm or Pelican Brief, of course, you would not find the same style. Interesting plots and page-turner for sure will attract most readers, but I actually love this book. May be it's true that it lacks the twists of many other books, but I believe Mr.Grisham wants to show us something different in this book. It tells us not all the lawsuits or related cases are interesting and make your heart rate fastened. Some of them may not be as interesting, but they are very real cases. Instead of victory all the times (which I believe most of the readers want), we can see the desperation in this book: when you try all your best but still cannot create a miracle because life is life. We see the main character, Adam Hall, his desperation, his struggles, his frustrations. It is a great character. My heart follows Adam's when the story goes. Despite the missing excitement, yet I find myself totally involved in the sentiments of the story. The end of the story is so sad that I find my tears running down. I respect Adam's final decision and deep down in my heart, I wish I can be his very best friend, sharing his sorrows. One final word, I have to say that if you are too keen on the style applied in books like The Firm, this one might disappoint you, but why not try something different and use your heart to read the book instead of your mind. (Also recommend: The Rainmaker, which resemebles the simplicity of this book)

Summary: TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I thought that the tis must be the worst book Grisham has written. I have read every one of his books and I usually enjoy them a lot, but this one was even hard to finish.
