A review by jjohnwendell
Sycamore Row by John Grisham

3.0

It was intriguing to journey with Grisham back to Clanton, Mississippi and revisit Jake Brigance in a story that is vastly different from "A Time to Kill", but I must say I thought the story dragged quite a bit. Nothing really happened until the last 30% of the book! and there were several weird side stories interwoven that I did not think really connected to the main point of the story. As with most Grisham books, there was a giant twist towards the end, although I did not find it all that surprising. All-in-all, I thought this was an enjoyable read but not one of the best I have read by Grisham. It takes some patience to get through, and the payoff isn't quite as good as you want it to be.
