The Appeal

I have read all of John Grisham's book except for the last one. I have loved them all, but The Appeal was the one I liked best. He certainly knows how to keep your attention. He needs to keep cranking them out as I am down to the last one.

A Painted House

I worked in the fields of Mississippi as a twelve year old. The sights, smells, and sounds of the farm came flooding back as I followed the lives of the characters in this incredible narrative.

Time to Kill

Time to Kill had me hooked, but several books since have been favorites like "Painted House" and "Rainmaker"

A TIME TO KILL

Mr. Grisham, I must tell you, I was a 32 year old widow with four children and (for several reasons) I had never read a book..My oldes son, Steve (17 years old at the time,1982) came home holding a paper back in his hand.. anxiously he handles me a book... READ IT! YOU GOT TO READ THIS BOOK!! I KNOW, YOU WILL LOVE IT! I didnt want to disappoint him so, I (try) read the book. Mr. Grisham, I am thankful for many good things in my life...Your christal clear writing, it becames so personal, so real that, when you turn the last page and read the last sentence... ..It feels .. well, your readers; they know. I am thankful for the GIFT you have. Your writings had motived me to learn how to read better (Inglesh) and to LOVE BOOKS!

I must say John Grisham is my favorite writer I Have read so many of his books, I have recently completed the Confession which was so good I got so emotional while reading the book. I also like "The Brethren" that was great but one of my favourite was the "Innocent man" that was a great book besides it's a non fictional novel which made it more emotional for me. John Grisham is an amazing writer. I enjoy writing short stories and hope one day I can publish my own novel.

The Client

I love all of his books, but I chose the Client because those kids walked into my heart just as John has with each and every word he writes.
