Summary: didn't like it at all
Review: This was so boring. There was too much emphasis on secondary characters, not enough on the plot. I was very disappointed.

Summary: Just OK
Review: The plot was too similiar to that of "A Time to Kill." This book was certainly not as good as that one but nevertheless enjoyable and a must read for Grisham fans. More time could have been spent on character developement and character relationships. This novel lacked the usual Grisham humor, complex characters, and plot twists. Overall, still a good read but not one of Grisham's best efforts.

Summary: THE CHARACTERS CAME ALIVE
Review: I have read all of John Grishams book and find they are all similar yet different
In the Last Juror, Grisham makes the characters truly alive
I wept and laughed out loud
his honesty and capturing the time and place is remarkable
I also enjoyed his descriptions of the food and love of a meal
In so many books it is as though no one ever eats
it is truly one of his best books and I highly recommend it

Summary: Another Grisham fun read
Review: I look forward to John Grisham's books because they have a plot that keeps you interested. I worked in a law office many years and like his descriptions of law procedures. I've read all his books. Some are better than others but I'm glad I read this one. I read it in two days because I had to find out what would happen.

Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: I have read most of Grisham's books and was quite excited when this one came out. However, after reading it, I was disappointed. Sure, the books starts off with a very interesting plot, but 1/3rd of the way through the book, the trial has ended and the rest of the time is spent following Willie around town. I wish Grisham would go back to the writing style that got him here in the first place.

Summary: The Last Reader, Maybe
Review: Grisham, you've gotta be kidding. I beg my fiancee to let me buy this book -- as we are on a shoestring budget-- and she relents and this is what I get? I love Grisham. I hated this book. I read it and realized it was good for something -- to cure me of my insomnia.
This is why I'm writing in my spare time. I'm tired of picking up a book in hopes of it being decent and finding out it's a waste of time. I mean, it wasn't even fun to read. That's all I ask for, something halfway entertaining. And the sad thing is, the next Grisham book that comes out will be purchased by me again.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: Grisham disappoints the reader in this drab novel. Too many inconsequential characters, which makes the book choppy to read. Granted, a surprize ending, but not enough to propel the novel into a mediocre book.

Summary: Nothing New Here
Review: Grisham has experimented with so many styles lately that he doesn't know who he is. I tried but I coundn't find anything new here. This book stinks!

Summary: Another Disappointment
Review: Grisham is off on another political tirade. He starts off developing a decent plot and then abandons it. He gets off on an anti-Vietnam crusade extolling the virtues of running off to Canada. He focuses on his relationship with a matriarch which, again, diverts from the story line. He treats the solving of final crimes as an afterthought. Grisham has clearly lost it. Where he once wove a tale that meshed from beginning to end, he now appears on an ego trip to stuff his political predjuces down the readers throat at the expense of whatever plot he initiated. I was also disappointed with The King Of Torts for many of the same reasons. This was the last book by him that I shall read.
Rating: 
Summary: Great work
Review: I believ the negative comments are from those who like CNN and USA Today - they like their stories in sound bites. This is a rich, warmly told tale that is a story, not a mystery, but a story. And a fine one at that.
