Summary: THE RUNAWAY JURY
Review: The Runaway Jury centers around big tobacco litigation and the players who will do anything for a verdict in their favor. Defense and Plaintiff lawyers each have their own tactics to win the case; but the biggest factor is Nicholas Easter, a juror. Easter has his own agenda, has won the trust of the other jurors, and more important, an accomplice on the outside calling the shots and making the defense jump through hoops.Grisham takes the reader on another exciting ride with many twists, surprises and a slew of crafty characters.

Summary: The best of John Grisham
Review: I haven't read all of John Grisham's books, but of the ones I've read, this one is my favorite. There isn't the heavy subject matter or murders of some of his other books, so unless you make a living from Big Tobacco, this book is just plain fun. Runaway Jury does maintain the suspense and intrigue at which Mr. Grisham is so good; however, why I really love this book is that it gives us a vicarious opportunity to manipulate the legal system in order to intimidate ruthless big business without facing prison if we get caught. Well done!

Summary: The Runaway Jury
Review: The Runaway Jury is another example of John Grisham's writing talents and intellect. This book, as his others, is an interesting story with plot twists and turns and surprises throughout. While The Runaway Jury is not my favorite of Grisham's novels, it is still a great book and worth the money. If you haven't already read a Grisham book, The Partner or The Firm may be a better choice.

Summary: A great novel that should really happen.
Review: This is truly one of Grisham's best, a captivating story filled with insider knowledge, human drama and real-life villains. The tobacco industry kills more people worldwide than anything else with the possible exception of war. This is one novel whose plot really ought to happen. It's after 1 a.m. and I just finished the book. It's that good. Like "To Kill a Mockingbird," "Runaway Jury" speaks to the need for significant social change, set in our litigious times.

Summary: Another fun-to-read Grisham novel...
Review: This book was exactly what Grisham fans expect...an enjoyable, well-paced, relatively easy-to-read story. The early sections of the book do a nice job of introducing main characters...in this case by slowly revealing hints about their past. The middle section goes into detail of the trial's progress, taking along a bit of a puzzle about its outcome... not a baffling mystery, but enough to keep you guessing. The later sections to the end keep things moving well, with a satisfying ending. I recently read "A Painted House" by Grisham and rated in a 4-star book. In retrospect I'd probably downgrade that, giving this one a four instead. It was a much more interesting book.

Summary: One of Grishams very best
Review: What if one of the jurors could change at his own will the veredict of a multimillion trial against a Tobacco company? How much would you pay to grant his devious influence?
This is the central topic of the book.
A fast page-turner, this book will keep you glued to your seat for hours and hours.
With "A time to kill" one of Grishams very best...

Summary: The Runnaway Jury
Review: Tobacco is a topic that never goes away. The debate over just how deceptive companies are in marketing cigarettes is brought to the forefront with a legal tale as good as any you will read this year. The story concerns a giant tobacco firm on trial after a dead woman sues the company claiming that cigarettes killed her husband. As the trial begins it is evident that someone is playing a game with both sides of the case. That someone is known only as Juror # 2 but he holds allot of power that will either ensure a conviction or not depending on the way his clever little game plays out. As the lawyers from both sides try to figure out who is the mysterious person toying with a case that he can make or break at will a surprising turn of events threatens to destroy the case. Grisham once again comes up with a winner filled with the genuine plot twists that make him a master of the legal thriller. The slam-bang finale is one of the best yet.

Summary: Fascinating from Start to Finish
Review: I would never have believed that a "courtroom drama" could be so interesting. But a major lawsuit is more than motions and objections and legal briefs: it is about people, and Grisham gives us an omniscient view of the lives, fears and motivations of the 12 jury members and people around them. With millions at stake, Big Tobacco's hired guns attempt to profile, psychoanalyze and spy on the jury members, and find ways to influence and pressure jurors...or buy them outright. It is jury-tampering as an art form...but there is one juror, a young man, who exerts great influence on the rest of the jurors...but whose side is he on? You never really know until the very last..the plot never lags, the drama and suspense persist throughout. Frank Muller, the actor who reads the audio version, is an outstanding narrator, with his warm, sonorous voice. He simulates character voices expertly without overdoing it, and his speaking skill adds greatly to the enjoyment.
