The Firm was my first John Grisham novel, but was certainly not my last. His earlier stuff was fantastic. Some of his later books I didn't care for as much like Christmas with the Kranks. My other favorites include The Rainmaker, The Chamber, The Client, Runaway Jury, Pelican Brief, and The Partner.
Recently, he has delved into the popular YA genre, and started a new series entitled Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer. I read the first one in the series and it was pretty good. I might pick up the second one sometime soon.
Hi Penny,
ReplyDeleteI see that you haven't posted on this blog for some time, although I am hoping that someday, when life settles into something more of a steady routine for you, you might take up the reading challenge once again and feel like sharing your thoughts.
I read many of the early Grisham books, however as with so many other authors, I found that the writing style and storylines became a bit predictable and 'samey', so I haven't bothered with his books for the last few years.
I see that his last couple of books have been in the Theodore Boone YA series, although I also see that he has resurrected one of his very first characters, attorney Jake Brigance, so that one might interest me.
I have also watched just about all of the TV and film adaptations of his stories, as they do make for good viewing.
Have a good week,
Yvonne
