Rating:
Summary: good
Review: Grisham's book not only is about the death of two justices, but also about the pelican. Though Darby wrote the Pelican Brief which wrecked havoc for many people, she was a stupid though. For starters, if she hadn't gone to the FBI when they told her to in the beginning, she wouldn't have had an assassin's brains fall out next to her.

Rating:
Summary: Good book with good caracters, though missing some story
Review: I've watched the movie before reading the book so I might have missed some of the surprise-effect of the book. I just wanted to drop a line mentioning that I really liked this book but I think that John Grisham could add a little more consistency to its story (it is incredible how things turn out with no clear explanation). That is why I gave it 4 stars.

Summary: The Best Book I Have Read To Date !!!!!!
Review: This is suspense and mystery at it's best. The book is about a young law student named Darby who writes a brief about the assasination of two supreme court justices: Jensen and Rosenberg. Her boyfriend hands the brief to the FBI and it is also passed to the White House and the CIA. Then her boyfriend is killed in a car bomb intended for her. Then she is persued by her boyfriends killers because her brief which was described as a " shot in the dark" has got someone in the Government very upset and nervous. This is a great book and the movie is excellent also. It sticks surprisingly close to the book too. But read the book first.

Rating:
Summary: An action packed novel by Grisham
Review: A great book about a young law student. Everything is going fine for her but when 2 supreme court judges are assassinated everything changes. She writes a very absurd brief or theory on who did the killings and it eventualy ends up in the hands of the FBI. Eveyone who touches it though seems to end up dead. Great book though some sexual content.

Summary: If you're under 100 and like suspence.... This is THE Book !
Review: I read this book in 1993. Even though it's been a long time since I read it, I still have the enjoyment I felt as I read it fresh in my memory. For that reason I've always wanted to publish a review on it. The most sincere coment I can say about this book is, "It's the very best book I've read in my whole life". This book was so interesting and captivating to me, that when I first picked it up and read the first pages, I couldn't put it down. I stayed up one whole night, and through a day and half, I slowly read the whole book; absorving everything. I'm a 20 year old, third year pre-med student now. When I read this book I was about 15. Therefore, I think that my oppinion of this book can be easily shared with younger and more fresh minded people. Please do not listen to reviews done by people over 100 years old, they can't even see their noses. So all in all, if you like suspence and meet the criteria for this book(under the vegetable age) then you will agree with me 100%!!!

Rating:
Summary: An excellent read
Review: Though not quite as good as A Time To Kill, in my opinion this is one of his best books. He manipulates people and situations in a believable manner that makes one keep reading until the dawn breaks. Truly a good read.
