What is John Grisham's best legal thriller?

John Grisham

John Grisham is my second favorite author, after J.K. Rowling, of course. He got me into law, and when I read The Firm and The Partner , it made me want to go to law school. What do you guys think of him? Like him? Hate him? Indifferent? Tell me your thoughts.

I know my mom loved the firm.

i haven't read any of his books but i voted for A Time To Kill cuz its only title on list that doesn't start with The

great author i loved the pelican brief

Hey! You forgot The Rainmaker, I'm reading that one now 😉

The Rainmaker is the only book of his that I haven't read. I don't want to read it because I saw the movie and I hated the storyline. I may just read it, though, if only to sayt that I've read all his books. I also have to read The Last Juror, his new one that came out like 2 weeks ago.

I read The Pelican Brief last month, and The King of Torts before that, but my favorite is still The Firm, followed by The Partner(though I despised the ending....which tends to happen in most of his books. Oh well, he's still a great author.)

I know I can't be the only one who reads Grisham...

hello?

I don't know why..because there seem to be lots of people who bring him up in the thread http://www.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19075&highlight=John+Grisham

thanks.

my mom has all his bks, but i've already read a few of them
i was glad when they made runnaway jury into a movie

It was only an OK movie, though. Too much was different, but the casing was alright.

The Firm
The Pelican Brief

Those two are the best movies and books

The Firm is a very good book.

Really, so the movie isn't that great? Oh well, I'll watch it anyway... I finally finished it today. It was okay... didn't Grisham just come out with another one?

Yes, "The Last Juror." I have t on hold at the public library. Everybody wants to read that damn thing. He had one come out late last year also, called "The King Of Torts." That one starts out great, but loses steam towards the end, just like most of his books. I just finished "A Time To Kill," his first novel, and it may very well be the best he's ever written.

I was just at a bookstore today, and there's a new book coming soon called Benchs... I guess it's not out in stores yet.

Benches? I know he has one out called Bleachers...

Yeah, that's what I meant. 😮

That's been out for a while. I don't really care to read it because it has nothing to do with law. That's why I won't read "The Painted House."
