Summary: Shocking. Powerful. Engrossing. Beyond Belief.
Review: John Grisham's amazing novel of a racist on death row and his grandson defending him is the most engrossing book you will ever read in a thousand lifetimes. Its in-depth analysis on capital punishment, racism, and forgiveness render it second to none. The plot flows faster a raging waterfall bringing you to the amazing climax while your holding on to your head to keep it from becoming overwelmed by the full characters

Rating:
Summary: Another nail-biting thriller from John Grisham!
Review: The Chamber deals with a tale of death row. A man has been convicted and sentenced to die, while much of the country is blood thirsty, his long lost grandson comes back to try to free him from this deadly fate. This books, as most Grishman novals are, is a nail-biter. Will he live or die? No, I'm not going to give it away, but you will want to read this book asap to find out

Summary: THE CHAMBER IS IN MY OPINION THE BEST BOOK "J.G." HAS WRITEN
Review: "THE CHAMBER"

Rating:
Summary: Not one of Grisham's best, but still very good!
Review: Nothing written by John Grisham is bad, but this book certainly wasn't one of his best. The book had a good plot, and great character development, but just didn't have the un-dying suspense John Grisham readers are used to. The book also contained court jargon that was unnecessary for the reader. This made for slow reading and monotonous page-turning. However, if you like John Grisham based books, it is far from boring. If you like the court jargon this book contains, it is a must-read

Summary: How does he do it?
Review: Not Grisham's best book but I loved it!!!!!Can't get any better

Rating:
Summary: Loved the beginning, hated the ending.
Review: I loved and hated the book because of the ending. The ending was very emotional. I could not put the book down and could hardly keep from turning to the back page to see if Sam lived or died

Rating:
Summary: The Most Depressing Book of the Decade
Review: Granted, John can tell a story and set the background so clearly you can smell the stench from where Sam hasn't washed his hair. And maybe the fact that I read this during my nauseous first trimester of pregnancy made it worse than it is. But this is my very least favorite Grisham book--I'm just grateful I borrowed it from the library so I didn't waste my money on it. Usually I buy his books so I can read them again and again. Not this one. I couldn't shake the images of Death Row even when Adam was out in Memphis visiting his aunt. The book ended just like I thought it would, and I felt Sam deserved to die. Nothing in the book led me to believe he was deserving of a pardon or redemption. If John was trying to get us to think about capital punishment, he failed as far as I'm concerned. This character didn't have enough "gray area" for it--he was despicable

Rating:
Summary: Another excellent novel by John Grisham. Gets you thinking!
Review: John Grisham outdoes himself once again on this extraordinary novel. If this book doesn't make you think twice about the death penalty, you didn't read it right! Grisham evokes emotions I never knew I had--it is definitely a heart-wrenching story with what I thought was the perfect ending. Although in my heart I didn't want Sam Cayhall executed, the book wouldn't have seemed complete if somehow an appeal had been successful. This book had me biting back tears the entire time. Although some reviews said that this book is long and, in places boring, I feel that every word in every sentence contributed to the novel as a whole. I loved this book--congratulations, John Grisham, on another book excellently written

Rating:
Summary: A somewhat prolonged story, but good page-turning suspense.
Review: Grisham delivers yet another powerful novel about (what else?) law and the justice system. Sam and Adam Cayhall are believable characters whose contrasting traits give the novel a more rousing and realistic tone. The ending particularly will grab the reader's suspense. The sublime subject matter of a family member's sentence to death is definitely something that will come up later at the dinner table. The one weakness of the book is that it is slightly overwritten and sometimes dull, which makes you rather want to watch Court TV. But overall it is good, solid entertainment, and gets your noodle thinking!!
