John Grisham and Janet McAlpin - The Client

Pros: Excellent plot & well-developed main characters

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: If you like suspense stories involving children and the mafia, then you will probably love this book!

Review: This is the first Grisham novel I have ever read and it won't be the last! I never thought that I would ever enjoy a mystery/suspense book. However, after watching the movie, I was compelled to read this book. Now, I plan to read Grisham's other...

Pros: the way the story moves, the characters, and everything else

Cons: didn't particularly like the movie version

The Bottom Line: Grisham's finest, in my opinion, worth a 3rd and 4th read, and even a 5th!

Review: I have read (and re-read) all the Grisham books, sometimes thinking I wish I could call John Grisham, and say "Hurry up, will you? I finished that one in one day!" - Maybe I should wait to buy them, so that I will finish closer to the time that the next...

Pros: Great Story with Edge of Your Seat Suspense

Cons: You won't be able to put it down

Review: I have to admit that I'm not a big reader. Sure, I pick up the occasional paperback every now and then, but I usually lose them before I finish reading them.. I guess I'm just to busy.

A friend of mine read this book and couldn't stop talking...

Pros: Great characterizations; Grisham's descriptions paint a vivid picture; Hard to put down

Cons: Ending was hastily drawn up and did not tie all loose ends

The Bottom Line: Read it today and you will not be disappointed.

Review: I have read most of Grisham's books and 'The Client' rates right up there with his best works (including 'The Firm', 'A Time to Kill', and 'The Rainmaker').

Reggie Love and Mark Sway are two of the greatest characters that he has contrived....

Pros: Reggie Love

Cons: Hope Reggie's in Another Book

Review: This is a great premise with a couple of minor flaws. In this tale, an eleven-year-old witnesses a suicide and hears a death bed confession as he watches the mob lawyer die. Now this kid just has to tell the Louisiana police what he knows and then...

Pros: Plot

Cons: None

Review: The Client, one of my favorite Grisham books. This was the first of his books I ever read and I have been hooked ever since. This is just a great book from start to finish.

This is the story of a boy and his brother who stumble onto a...

Pros: Great story, solid character development

Cons: none, really

Review: This has to be the best of Grisham's four original novels. It has the most solid storyline, and it develops the characters more than any of his other four originals I've read. The writing style of this book is great, not just focusing on one...

Pros: Great book, suspenseful and interesting

Cons: Possibly too realistic, graphic descriptions

Review: From the first sentence of "The Client" on, I was hooked. Who can resist an introduction with a ten year old boy smoking? Such a great beginning is nothing compared to the rest of the book. I honestly think this is the best book I've ever...

Pros: Non stop

Cons: non really

Review: Well two young boys witness a suicide, one goes into shock and the other has to deal with many hardships. The boy who isn't in a shock was told things, by the man who commits suicide, things that a young boy should not hear. Well the plot thickens as the...

Pros: Very strong female character

Cons: Didn't find any

Review: I picked up The Client in an airport bookstore during an unplanned very long layover. I thought this would be a good time to see what all the fuss was about John Grisham. I had finished the book on that particular business trip. I just couldn't put...
