Summary: One of Grisham's best!!!
Review: This was a really good book. I really, really liked it! It was so good that I brought it down to Florida for my spring break and read it on the beach! I have just started reading John Grisham's books - in fact, about six months - and I've read all of them! If it was possible to rate his boooks, this would be near the top! Read this book!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A definate eye opener!!!!
Review: I have read all of John Grisham's wonderful novels, but this one tops all. The compelling story of a grandson trying to learn to love a man who is his grandfather and at the same time accomplish the task of getting him off death row.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I did not like this book.
Review: I have all of John Grisham's books, but this I put down half way through it. He spent so much time describing how people are executed in prison, it made me sick. I have not been able to pick the book up to finish reading. If I were given the choice of rating this book "0" stars, I would have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Compelling story & Outstanding reader
Review: As usual an excellent book by Grisham. He is a consumate story teller that can develope a character to the point you feel you know them. The chaaracters then fit the story he weves. You know they are supposed to be there and even the most minor one contributed to the tapestry.

Grisham just has the talent to tell a really GOOD story.

Michael Beck did a outstanding job in bringing to life each character and let you visulaize them as they moved through the story. No small task when you play ALL the parts.

This is deffinately a keeper!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Absolutely no plot twist/boring tale
Review: I love John Grisham. I've read most of his work and most of them are excellent. The Chamber has to be his worst book. It's a nice tale about a death row inmate, along very similar lines of "Dead Man Walking" - but there is no intrigue or plot twists, or anything else that makes for a page-turning suspense novel. I kept waiting for something out of the blue to happen, and nothing did. I even had thoughts of things that might happen, trying to guess a potential plot twist, and nothing happened. You are introduced to characters who appear throughout the story, which you expect to become a huge player at the end of the story, only to find them dissapear without a trace. Grisham seems to be building another suspensful, mind blowing story and then 3/4 of the way through the book almost every sub plot disappears never to resurface. When I got to the end of the book I thought I was missing a few chapters because there seemed to be som much left unsaid. I would strongy urge you to stay away from this book - or at least if you read it, don't expect a suspense novel, just a nice description of what someone goes through when on death row.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: J.G gives us better opportunity to consider social problems
Review: I believe that John Grisham is succeded casting lots of questions on the system to send people to the chamber as well as entertaining his readers.

This novel provides us with a better opportunity to deeply consider social problems than hearing the lectures at low school. It also gives us an idea that the truth is not as simple as what it believed in the past.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I very much enjoyed this novel by a gifted writer.
Review: I very much enjoyed The Chamber written by John Grisham. The book displays a look back at what life was like in the early days of the 60's to a life on Death Row in today's time. This novel shows many different views from the many types of people who lived during these times. The Chamber also demonstrates the problems that families go through and the troubles to fix these problems. John Grisham has published a book very true in what the days were like decades ago and consequences made by certain people during these days. Over all The Chamber was a book that is unable to be put down. The suspense gets you until the last word in the novel and grabs you in the beginning. The book is an intresting way to spend a day or two with a well know author with true talent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Grisham's best. Well worth 675 pages of reading!!!!!!
Review: The type of literature is both realistic and contemporary fiction. It is realistic fiction because the kkk does exsiste and people are killed from them. It is contemporary fiction because the story takes place in mordern time's. THE BEST BOOK ON RACISIM

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent book with a suprising ending!!!
Review: The Chamber is a typical John Grisham, but with a slight but exciting twist to it. This is perfect for anyone who is bored with the everyday law books and wants something a little more interesting!!! It can get a bit disgusting though, but it's definately worth it!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I've been asking everyone if they've read this yet!
Review: And if they say NO I feel like reading it to them!!! This was the 1st Grisham novel I ever read, and after I finished it, I would read ONLY John Grisham books! Nothing else! The best book ever...up until the last chapter, I honestly didn't know how it was going to end. The movie did no justice at all...don't even bother seeing it if you have read this book because you will only get frustrated! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!
