The Runaway Jury

Summary: HIS BEST BOOK, SKIP THE ENDING
Review: I loved this book, the ending was very predictable, imagine theverdict going the other way, we'd have an entire country of readers inan uproar. Good read, and the plot was 'slightly' different from his other books.

Summary: One juror couldn't have that much influence!
Review: I bought this book at the airport for a 3.5 hour flight. The first part of the book was typical Grisham, but as the main juror started influencing or fooling every other character in the book, I felt compelled to continue only because I invested the $7. Each chapter with Nicolas spying for the judge, sabbotaging other jurors, manipulating the tobacco big wigs...just did not buy it. The other constant that shows up here that is Grisham's formula ending was the two conspirers getting the money, and meeting up in some exotic destination away from the US. Grisham has got to put more thought into his endings. Until then, I will not buy another Grisham novel until I read the reviews on this webpage

Summary: Unconvincing, Predictable, and Judgemental
Review: A story based upon one individual dictating to the judge, the lawyers, and the fellow jurors was not a plausible one even with our fallible judicial system. Grisham is making a strong political statement with this book at the expense of literary acumen. It was just not believable....all this investigative money and they don't know Marlee and Easter are having conjugal visits??? C'mon....you have to be awfully gullible to digest this one

Summary: Good start, poor finish.
Review: He needs to go back and start practicing law rather thanwriting about it, maybe that will get him some experience and bringsome life into his stories. "A Time to Kill" was his best and written from the heart, "The Firm" was a real thriller (the movie wasn't), since these two books he's become redundent with his plots. His endings can be anticipated. It's difficult to believe that all Fortune 500 companies are out to "pray on the little man." He needs to get back to his "roots" and quit trying to entertain Hollywood.

Summary: Stop the Movies, Make Better Book??
Review: Maybe Hollywood should stop turning John Grisham's books intomovies so that he can really concentrate on writing a book asexcellent as "A Time to Kill". All the books after that has the same plot, same kind of character, nearly the same setting. And this book is no better than The Firm, Pelican Brief etc..

Summary: Grisham still da Bomb of Authors
Review: This book was excellent the second one of Grisham I have read,it builds up suspence the whole way through, unfortunately in a ratherslow way which is the only downfall of the book, but as the tension increases, the ending is AWSOME! He just drops da bomb on the end and it's a big one. This is one of the best books I have ever read in my life the only reason it is a 9 is because A Time To Kill is just barely better.

Summary: As always with Grisham, kept me turning pages!
Review: John Grisham is what I like best in an author, reliable.Everything I've read of his has been first rate, exciting prose. Hehas the ability to put one in the shoes of his character. I will never resist the impulse to pick up one of his new novels, and I have never been disappointed yet!

Rating:
Summary: BORING!!!!
Review: The reason I read this book was because of the name "Grisham", and slowly I started to lose interest as the plot began to develop. THE RUNAWAY JURY is nothing compared to THE FIRM or THE RAINMAKER. All I can say is : This is Grisham's worst book. Boring plot. Unconvincing characters. Unrealistic story and more

Rating:
Summary: He keeps you drowning in suspense until the end! Best yet!
Review: His breath-stopping novel, The Runaway Jury, is sure to giveyou such suspense, you won't be able to put it down! This isabsolutely the most FANTASTIC mystery. It is definitely worth reading!

Rating:
Summary: Boring
Review: This massed produced book had no surprises. There were no maincharacters established. It was boring and predicable and producedjust for the money that they knew the name "Grisham" would draw. "A Time to Kill" was the best and this was the worst.
