I read this one seven months ago. I liked it a lot. I think the premise of the story is a great one and made the book super interesting throughout, the idea of someone infiltrating a jury and having influence there. I also saw the movie many moons ago back when it came out and really liked it which probably had some influence on how much I enjoyed this book. One part that I could have done without was the extreme length Grisham went at some parts to get into all the scientific explanations about the harms of smoking. It almost felt like he did a ton of research for this book and didn't want to waste a bunch of things he learned so he just stuffed some of it in the book instead of just summarizing the findings. But it wasn't too big of a deal, obviously, since I still gave it 9 out of 10. Good book. Grisham hasn't missed for me yet.
Grisham books I've read, ranked:
- The Runaway Jury
- A Time to Kill
- The Pelican Brief
- The Client
