I laughed, I cried and I could hardly wait for the next chapter. The characters and situations took me back to the time I spent in the South. Thank you for a great story.

This one was different from the rest. Another classic.

Good start, moderately entertaining middle and lack luster finish. Not Grisham’s best work.

One of Grisham’s best. Fine character development of Miss Callie and Willie, the narrator.

Impressive!

Couldn’t put it down! Captured my interest from the very beginning. Great character development and constant intrigue.

Very good

a complete and utter mess of a story. Jumps around haphazardly and by the end you just don’t care. Weak Mr Grisham, weak

Enjoyed this book so much on vacation sitting on my balcony looking out to sea. It kept me glued to find out what happened next, like a good book should. I was hooked from the first few pages, horrified by the events, laughed, got teary eyed, and absolutely loved it! Grisham is just one of many authors that makes me love reading.

This is my favorite John Grisham book thus far, including his latest five books including his most recent one, Partners. Not only is the lead character not a lawyer, but he's almost totally ignorant of the law. This will change, however. It's always good to see old characters come back into his books. Lucian Willbanks and Harry Rex are two of my favorites. Ms. Callie's stories had me totally amused and I did not miss a word when she spoke or was spoken of. Will she appear in later books? You will have to read this to find out.
