I've read most of Grisham and liked them. But this is by far my favorite. Sort of a cross between Heart of Darkness and Moby Dick. The satire of the rich idle greedy heirs (and their target) is merciless. The satire of lawyers, even…

You really want the audiobook. Maybe it's available from Hoopla? Or maybe I can request it through Link+?

My first Grisham book so I had no expectations. Quicly discovered this author is a stoyteller who likes to draw out his tale. The book is easily scanned to its finish. There are several parts to the book. One part has to do with the lives…

I felt like I travelled to the Amazon. It's been years since I read it but I still have memories of boating down the muddy rivers, reaching the indigenous peoples, and staying in the town. I really entered into this book which is rare for…

This is one of my favorite books by Grisham, despite the fact that all the action does not happen in a courtroom. Great read for the beach or a rainy weekend

This is a great book. It is my first John Grisham novel but from what I have read elsewhere, it is the best. It was exciting and often humorous at times. I was impressed by the journey of faith that was woven into the story...a true…

This was my first (hopefully in a long list of many) John Grisham book (I've been meaning to read one for years). I thought this was a great book to start with. I really enjoyed the beginning where the family of a extremely rich guy…

My absolute favorite of all the John Grisham novels. This is definitely a page turner. He takes you in two very different worlds, with very different people. The characters are fascinating! I was pulled in from the very beginning and…

This took me by surprise, not what I was used to reading by Mr. Grisham. I really enjoyed it.
