Rating:  Summary: An excellent book with a suprising ending!!! Review: The Chamber is a typical John Grisham, but with a slight but exciting twist to it. This is perfect for anyone who is bored with the everyday law books and wants something a little more interesting!!! It can get a bit disgusting though, but it's definately worth it!!!
Rating:  Summary: I've been asking everyone if they've read this yet! Review: And if they say NO I feel like reading it to them!!! This was the 1st Grisham novel I ever read, and after I finished it, I would read ONLY John Grisham books! Nothing else! The best book ever...up until the last chapter, I honestly didn't know how it was going to end. The movie did no justice at all...don't even bother seeing it if you have read this book because you will only get frustrated! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!
Rating:  Summary: A GREAT BOOK!!! Review: A GREAT BOOK!!
Rating:  Summary: Intriguing... Review: Having read The Firm, The Rainmaker and enjoying both, I tackled The Chamber with great ferosity. I found the book easy to read in the fact that it kept me turning pages. I thought the character development was good for Adam, but not as good for Sam. I guess it depends on the focus of the book, but which character is the focus on ?? I felt the ending left a little to be desired, and quite frankly, I put the book down wanting more... too many loose ends, Rollie Wedge, his aunt etc etc...However, I must say it was a good read and an eye-opener to some of the myths and tradgies of the Death Penalty.
Rating:  Summary: AS USUAL-GARBAGE Review: John Grisham never ceases to amaze me with thoughtless writing and trite plots. No characters, no theme, poor writing-a typical Grisham. It started with The Firm, and has continued until this day. His books are a disgrace to all writers in general, and specifically to lawyers and politicians. Every page I read was pure agony as I contemplated burning the book more than once. However, I finished just so I can write this review, and warn people off of this book. It was awful. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.
Rating:  Summary: I love this book! It was the best reading experience! Review: This book kept me reading! I could not guess the outcome of the story, it was a thriller. I love this book. The most gripping tale and the controversial topics of death penalty is molded magnificently by John!
Rating:  Summary: An excellent, yet deppressing novel. Review: I thought that The Chamber was an excellent book of a desperation attempt by an underdog. I always knew that Sam Cayhall would be saved by Adam towards the end of the book, but his death shocked me. There aren't many books that do that. That is what made it so depressing. But this was an excellent, dramatic, emotional story and I reccomend it to everybody.
Rating:  Summary: It was OKAY! Review: Not one of Grisham's best. I really did not feel for the grandfather that Grisham's main character tried saving. You can read it but if you only had one choice, this is definitely not the book I recommend. :)
Rating:  Summary: A great Grisham novel about the death penalty's cruelty. Review: This Grisham novel is one of his best of his works that I have read. It deals with a bombing that did more than it was supposed to. Nearly 15 years later the man is brought to justice. As his execution date draws near a grandson he's never met(who happens to be a lawyer) shows up to fight for his grandfather's life. This is an awesome thriller that questions whether it's worth the sorrow of an execution for justice to come about. I recomend this book to anyone. Be aware there are several portions of graphic content that might make you a bit queasy.
Rating:  Summary: Boring! Review: The one and only time that I could not finish a Grisham novel. I loved The Firm, and the Pelican Brief, and all of his other novels to date, but found this book completely pointless. The story was uninteresting, and the characters pathetic. I hope that this was a once in a career bomb.
