I know I've read this, but I cannot remember it.

Loved the book. Loved the movie.

2025 re-read, I think I was in middle school or high school the first time I read this. Now I'm closer in age to Reggie than Mark and it made it a different experience. I still quite like the story, I love the pacing, and I'm realizing that Grisham had a lasting impact on how I view justice. 

This book made me want to become a lawyer.

Super fast paced easy read. Much better than The Pelican Brief. I really liked the characters.
