Sycamore Row
by John Grisham
After hearing John Grisham talking on NPR about this sequel to his first novel, "A Time To Kill", I knew I had to revisit that book, my favorite of the Grisham books I've read. Rather than re-read the book, I got the DVD from the library to watch with my husband, who hadn't read the book. The movie was well-done and it had been long enough (decades!) since I'd read the book that any differences didn't detract from my enjoyment.
This book takes place 3 years after the end of the first book. Jake is still an attorney in Clanton, Mississippi, struggling to make ends meet. His notoriety from winning the Hailey trial brings him a very unusual case - defending a very controversial holographic will against an angry family that feels entitled to the estate of an extremely wealthy man. This audiobook was very well narrated, and the voice of Jake Brigance was reminiscent of Matthew McConaughey's voice in the aforementioned movie, lending continuity to the story. The plot was intriguing - I love a good courtroom story, and this one was very satisfying. It was a bit slow in places, but toward the end I had trouble stopping my iPod to focus on other things. I highly recommend the audio format.
