John Grisham

3.87 AVERAGE


The latest by Mr. Grisham.

I have managed to read every book he has written. He remains one of my favourite authors.

This story is about a group of people who spend their lives getting innocent people out of prison.

I found the main character to be quite captivating. he came to life very easily for me.
the story line was great and everything in it was quite believable if maybe a little "lucky" at one point.

i found i just did not want to put this one down i enjoyed it that much

if you are a Grisham fan you will enjoy - if this is your first experience with the author you will not be disappointed.

I haven't read a John Grisham novel since the 90's, but saw him speak in Savannah with a lot of passion for this novel so I had to give it a spin. It is based on real life stories of people who have served jail time for crimes they did not commit. It started a slow but then it had the Grisham pacing I remembered in the second half. 3.5 stars

I started off intrigued and then it just bored me to tears. It read more Iike a legal brief than a novel.

Grisham doing what he does best, but this time throwing priests into the mix!

Was just ok for me. Not one of my favorites by Grisham.
