Summary: A GREAT BOOK!!!
Review: A GREAT BOOK!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Intriguing...
Review: Having read The Firm, The Rainmaker and enjoying both, I tackled The Chamber with great ferosity. I found the book easy to read in the fact that it kept me turning pages. I thought the character development was good for Adam, but not as good for Sam. I guess it depends on the focus of the book, but which character is the focus on ?? I felt the ending left a little to be desired, and quite frankly, I put the book down wanting more... too many loose ends, Rollie Wedge, his aunt etc etc...

However, I must say it was a good read and an eye-opener to some of the myths and tradgies of the Death Penalty.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: AS USUAL-GARBAGE
Review: John Grisham never ceases to amaze me with thoughtless writing and trite plots. No characters, no theme, poor writing-a typical Grisham. It started with The Firm, and has continued until this day. His books are a disgrace to all writers in general, and specifically to lawyers and politicians. Every page I read was pure agony as I contemplated burning the book more than once. However, I finished just so I can write this review, and warn people off of this book. It was awful. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this book! It was the best reading experience!
Review: This book kept me reading! I could not guess the outcome of the story, it was a thriller. I love this book. The most gripping tale and the controversial topics of death penalty is molded magnificently by John!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An excellent, yet deppressing novel.
Review: I thought that The Chamber was an excellent book of a desperation attempt by an underdog. I always knew that Sam Cayhall would be saved by Adam towards the end of the book, but his death shocked me. There aren't many books that do that. That is what made it so depressing. But this was an excellent, dramatic, emotional story and I reccomend it to everybody.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It was OKAY!
Review: Not one of Grisham's best. I really did not feel for the grandfather that Grisham's main character tried saving. You can read it but if you only had one choice, this is definitely not the book I recommend. :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great Grisham novel about the death penalty's cruelty.
Review: This Grisham novel is one of his best of his works that I have read. It deals with a bombing that did more than it was supposed to. Nearly 15 years later the man is brought to justice. As his execution date draws near a grandson he's never met(who happens to be a lawyer) shows up to fight for his grandfather's life. This is an awesome thriller that questions whether it's worth the sorrow of an execution for justice to come about. I recomend this book to anyone. Be aware there are several portions of graphic content that might make you a bit queasy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring!
Review: The one and only time that I could not finish a Grisham novel. I loved The Firm, and the Pelican Brief, and all of his other novels to date, but found this book completely pointless. The story was uninteresting, and the characters pathetic. I hope that this was a once in a career bomb.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My review of The Chamber
Review: I was absolutely captured by this book. John Grisham is currently my fave as far as authors go. Sam Cayhalls' story was very interesting (I could like and dislike this man, particularily near the end of his story). Adam was in a positon I would never want to be in. This would have been an excellant book to do an essay on (in days of high school). I am currently reading more of Johns' work and I do hope I am as interested.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: gripping,mesmerizing,with an unexpected ending
Review: The CHAMBER,is a gripping,mesmerizing,and chilling book that keeps you reading. I stayed up late at night because I could'nt put it down. I imagined the characters as real people and the subject matter is very relevent to our times.The death penalty is a very controversial subject that no one likes to talk about but it is something that we all think about.Grisham relly knows how to make you think. I really felt sorry for the characters in the book; something I thought I would never feel for convicted murders. A whole new insight was acheived. Not the best of Grisham's work,but worth the time.
