Ford County: Stories by John Grisham

5.0

Though paper-and-ink displace flesh-and-blood, Grisham births characters so real you could friend 'em on Facebook. His two geniuses--character development and spinning a yarn--carry this collection of short stories. The stories don't bang to a finish or change your life, but you get a rich view of a meaningful slice of the characters' lives. Yes, they're all about Southern bumpkins, and The Law seasons the stories heavily, but do yourself a favor: wrap yourself in this book and just enjoy the scenery.
