Summary: Grisham Stinks
Review: I've read two-and-a-half John Grisham books. He is the hack of hacks. Not only are his books filled with many hole, his characters are flat and plot lines totally STINK. I've read more interesting stuff on cereal boxes.He's as bad as Tom Clancy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: expertly brewed!
Review: A tragic tale of injustice, crime and punishment. It offers insights on how to deal with unusual events in one's life. Grisham seems to really know the strength and loopholes of the law and even provides the dilemmas of people, from the top of the social ladder upto those below the poverty line. Grisham is simply the best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pelican Brief: Great Story
Review: I liked this book alot. John Grisham is my favorite author, and I love his work. The Pelican Brief was a suspense filled novel. I thought that a couple parts dragged a bit, but it still held my interest. All in all, it is a well written and suspenseful story.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not realistic
Review: Definitely not Grisham's best. A law student can't possibly be so witty as to escape the chase of the FBI and practically the entire federal government. Many twists and turns kept the pages turning but many times I was unfocused and that I had to push myself to finishing it. I recommend A Time to Kill, possibly John Grisham's first and best

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unique!
Review: I have read all of Grisham's books and this one ranks right upthere. This is a brilliant novel because it is different, in fact,very different from normal storylines in most books. It is also interesting because it shows how one ordinary-- well Darby Shaw is not very ordinary-- person can intelligently come up with a solution that all the experts could not think of. It shows how one person can really make a difference. The book is thrilling when Darby is being chased, and just escaping death, time and time again. Grisham, also, does a masterful job of incorporating Gray Grantham from the Washington Post into the story, and creates a connection between him and Darby.

For the critics who say that Darby Shaw coming up with the solution was implausible and the book is far-fetched, I personally think that Grisham does a masterful job.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST OF THE BEST
Review: IT GETS NO BETTER THAN THIS! HIS BEST EVER! EVEN THE MOVIEFOLLOWED THE NOVEL WELL.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Show
Review: Fast paced! Simply loved every minute of reading it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Again, Grisham writes a best-seller! How does he do it?!
Review: If you thought A Time To Kill was Grisham's best, you are in for a wonderful surprise! 3 weeks before, Darby was having a wonderful love affair with her law professor, Callahan. Yet when two justices are killed without a trace of evidence, she decides to uncover the killer. Then, when Callahan hands her brief over to a pal in the FBI, he dies two days later in Darby's place. She's one step ahead of the killers, and doesn't stay in one place for two nights. Where does Grisham get these fabulous ideas?! All I can say is WOW!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book wasn't written, it was committed - like a crime
Review: Let me see if I have clearly gathered Grisham's plot. A perky law school student and her overbeveraged professor solve the mystery of who knocked off a couple of Supreme Court Justices. They do this all the while outsmarting the CIA, terrorists, police, you name it. When they made this into a movie equally as shallow, it should have been "shot before a live audience".

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Grisham at his worst!
Review: `Never have I read such a bad thriller like "The Pelican Brief". Grisham must had made some mistakes on the plot to create such a junk novel!
