A Book Lover's Review of Books by John Grisham

!: A Book Lover's Review of Books by John Grisham

One of my favorite authors is John Grisham, a writer of many well known fictitious legal thrillers. I will discuss some of his works and provide some biographical information about him as well. John Grisham has written about twenty-two novels. Several of his books have been made into movies as well. Some of the most popular movies are the following: The Firm, The Pelican Brief, a Time To Kill and The Client. Before I discuss his books, I will provide some biographical information about him.

Now, let's get to the biographical information. John Grisham was born in 1955 in Arkansas. He currently lives in Mississippi. Before he became a successful author, he was a lawyer and a politician. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Mississippi State and received his law degree from the University of Mississippi. In 1983, he was elected to the Mississippi House of Representatives and served until 1990. As you will see in the next section, his legal expertise comes into play in many of his various novels.

As of 2008, there have been 250 million copies of his books sold worldwide. I would say that is a lot of books written and sold. He has written about twenty-two novels including a non fiction work, titled A Painted House. There have been several movies produced based on his books. For example, The Firm, The Pelican Brief, and The Client. My favorite movie is the Pelican Brief which starred Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts. In this article, I am going to talk about my four favorite books and why they are my favorites. In addition, to explaining why I like these particular books I will give a brief preview of the plots.

The first book I will discuss is The Firm. The Firm is about a small law firm located in Memphis, Tennessee. The law firm has about forty attorneys that work for it. The lawyers are all handsomely compensated to work for the law firm. The law firm recruits a young man who just graduated from Harvard named Mitchell McDeere. There is catch, though no one ever leaves the firm. The lawyers don't necessarily leave the firm through retirement. I like this book for the easy to read language that John Grisham used and that there is an air of mystery surrounding the law firm. I wonder why no one leaves the firm, if not through retirement. It piques my curiosity and makes me want to reread the novel to see the outcome. I think it is a good legal thriller and quite entertaining to read.

The second book, that is my favorite is A Time to Kill. A Time to Kill was John Grisham's first novel that he wrote. A Time to Kill is a about the rape of a little black girl by a couple of white men. The girl's father eventually kills the suspects. I think the book has racial overtones and overtones of vigilantism. The book takes place in the rural Deep South. A crime like this can occur anywhere in the country, whether it is in the East, West or Midwest. I like this book as well, for its easy reading style and makes me think about the issues it raised.

The third book I will talk about is The Pelican Brief. The Pelican Brief is about two Supreme Court Justices that are killed. One judge is liberal and the other is conservative. A law student sets out to investigates why these judges were killed. This plot is little more complex than the other two books that I discussed. The book does have some political overtones, but upon reading it you may find that politics may not be the only thing at work here. That is why liked this book because of the political angle and the complexity of the plot. I also found this novel to be fast paced and a real good page turner.

The last book I want to talk about is The Rainmaker. The Rainmaker is about a health insurance company, Great Benefit Life Insurance, that denies every claim regardless of its validity. I like this book the most out of the four because it raises a very important question, which goes beyond politics. Is it right for a health insurer to deny claims regardless of the validity of the claim? I think it important to read this book today especially against the current backdrop of the debate on health care reform.

Overall, these four books are my favorites because they are easy to follow and the plots aren't too complex. I also like that Grisham uses everyday simple language to engage the reader. When I go to the beach or take vacation, I always make sure to have a John Grisham novel to read. If anyone is an avid reader, I would suggest they read a John Grisham novel.

Theodore Boone by John Grisham Book Review

!: Theodore Boone by John Grisham Book Review

Word has it that Mister Grisham is slightly miffed at losing his reputation as the best selling writer of fiction to the Rowling girl. Someone; may be Mister G himself, or perhaps some bright spark at his publishers, looked at the hoards of new adolescent readers Ms Rowling brought to the table and thought - Eh up, if only we could attract some of that lot!

Here's the result. Theodore Boone.

Theodore is a thirteen year old boy, sound familiar, who's always dreamt of becoming a judge, I kid you not, or at least a high profile lawyer. It isn't as ridiculous as it sounds because both of his parents are lawyers and so was his uncle once, though he now seems to be living in semi disgrace, and we don't ever get to the bottom of that one.

Theo is already dishing out legal advice to his classmates, one suffering through parent's splitting, another on the cusp of having the family home repossessed. I can't charge, he says when one of the kids offers payment, I don't have my licence yet. It sure won't be long.

The main thrust of the story centres round a high profile murder case going on in the city. The accused is about to walk due to insufficient evidence and when Theo stumbles on a crucial new witness just as the trial is ending the story really gets under way.

It is clear from the reviews that many people did not realise this was a book primarily aimed at the youth audience, but don't let that put you off entirely. The story rattles along in the same old Grisham way. Of course it is well written, even allowing for the occasional breaks to explain to the youngsters and newcomers what exactly the legal terms and ramifications mean.

We suspect any Grisham reader will still want to read this and will enjoy doing so. The big question is; how will this book impress that new target audience?

Whether that's great, moderate, or not at all, you can expect to see more of these slimmed down cut down watered down legal thrillers coming from Mister G in his quest to regain his crown.

After all, they are much shorter and quicker to write, and you could expect to see a couple of these beasties churning off the production line every year if the demand was there, and it just might be.

Despite everything we enjoyed it. It is a good read and well worth a second look.

So what's next? The Rowling girl creating a wicked witch of the courtroom? Now that we would like to see.

Theodore Boone - Kid Lawyer by John Grisham

Just like other famous writers such as Susan Straight, Francine Prose and Carl Hiasssen, John Grisham has also turned his attention towards the younger readers as his target audience. The legal thriller Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer is targeted towards readers between 9 and 12 years of age, an age group also known as tweens.

All Things Legal Fascinate Theodore

Theodore Boone

Theodore Boone himself is slightly older at thirteen though he is still a junior high schooler, and is still far away from a law school. The question may arise - what about the title? Just like the author himself, Theodore Boone is unusually fascinated with the legal system. He is the only child of busy lawyer couple, he has a dog called Judge and all his free time goes to the local courthouse.

• Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer
• Ford County: Stories

Everyone Turns To Him for Advice

His interest in law is very well renowned and even his friends turn to him for advice on legal matters. Even judges make special accommodation so they can talk to him. He also manages to get the best seats during an actual trial in which one husband has been accused of murdering his spouse. This part of the novel is vintage Grisham at his best, as he seems very much the same writer who exploded on the writing scene with the book A Time To Kill in 1989. Since then he has written 23 books, most of which revolve around legal themes and complexities.

Less Violence than Earlier Books

As you may only expect, many of these books are violent, though Theodore Boone is on the quieter side. The plot works around a bloodless strangulation of his wife by the husband and he is the only suspect, but he will likely be acquitted in the Case. Since the target readership is young, the mystery and complexity quotient has deliberately been kept low, though there is a twist in the story too. A crucial piece of evidence comes from an illegal immigrant who fears he will be deported if he testifies in the court.

The Law May Affect You Too

There are many scenes in the book based on the trials and arguments, and there are moments in the book when these scenes slow down the progress of the story. It is only due to the expertise John Grisham has on the legal matters that he manages to pull of these scenes convincingly. Even the legal complexities are explained in a very easy language so the target audience doesn't get distracted by the story. Due to this very talent, the law as a subject becomes more relatable for those readers who don't have an idea how the law may have an effect on their lives.
