" Rain Maker " was my first JG book ... and it continued after that.
A little earlier to Grisham's entry, Scott Turrow used to write legal thrillers and " Presumed Innocent " was his famous work. And, recently, its sequel, " Innocent " was also released.

No, I have not. It was released at Satyam (not Satyam cinemas but the old & beautiful Satyam theatre). Since the movie played there for just a couple of weeks or so, I missed it. I was eager to watch how Coppola had translated the book into celluloid, but somehow, I was not able to make it. Actually, I never expected Coppola to direct this film and when I saw the adv. in the newspaper, it was news for me. But, I was excited watching his Dracula – I liked it…. and in the 90’s, watched his Godfather III at Casino theatre. (Yenda inha kelviya ketomnu irukka ?)
One thing I like about Grisham’s writing is that as you keep reading, you are able to visualize the scenes in your mind. The way he describes the location, the place where that particular scene takes place, the characters, the setting etc., are all so catchy and attractive that you can very easily visualize them in your mind (remember the Ku Klux clan episode? )…its almost like watching a film. He doesn’t get very deep into the legal matters, as it might get boring, but rather concentrates more on the plot, the pace, thrill etc., The Firm, Chamber, Pelican brief, Clilent, Rain maker…..all these novels had this element and I thoroughly enjoyed them reading.

The Confession - Ok. First and last few chapters were absolute boredom. Good in parts, few chapters urged me to read it continuesly and few made me to sleep.

I love JG novels.
most of the novels here mentioned are my favorites too. watched the movies too.
Did you guys mention THE TESTAMENT in this thread?
The Testament.jpg
It is an early work of John Grisham.....late 90s.
Wonderful legal suspense with adventure into the world's beautiful jungles of Brazil.
characters are very likeable.
I am always fond of men who redeem himself.
I am very fond of Nate O'riley , Washington litigator lived a messy and shameful life, gone through several rehab trips but a good man, wants to redeem himself, love his sense of humor.
oh.... his trip to Pantanal- largest wetland is very exciting and enchanting.
John Grisham's vivid poetic writing on Pantanal, Brazil. Every time I read my favorite novel, the feeling is awesome.
Nice treatment of the missionary character too.
Satisfying social conscience with spiritual treatment.
Despicable lawyers, greedy children of the billionaire who happily screwed his heirs, detailed legal issues and law, redemption, faith, nature...wonderfully written.
Don't miss it, YOU LOVE IT.
oh... John Grisham, please pass on my hugs to Nate O'riley, I love his sense of humor and my trip with him to Pantanal is exciting... wanna go again & again & again...with him.
men want to redeem ...SEXY and MANLY
