The Runaway Jury

Another classic John Grisham in which the drama is nail biting and riveting right to the end. Believe me, you will not put this book down until you've read it front to back. Although it wasn't as intense as the "Client" or "The Rainmaker", it will keep you interested.

Educational

2 years ago

This novel was exciting and educational at the same time, since it helped me to learn a great deal about the trials, and the jury. This novel is about cigarette companies beings put on trial, and a person trying to poison the jury's decision, by eliminating the smart jurors one by one.

Pay Backs

This review is from: The Runaway Jury (Audio Book (Cassette))

This is a book that gets back at all those big companies and CEO types that think they are untouchable. I found that this book was well planned out and had good follow through. The people in the book new what they had to do and followed threw to the end with no way of getting caught for any wrong doings. It is a good book and I enjoy Grisham very much. If you now of others authors that are as good as he is could you please e-mail me Thank-you.

Gripping Grisham

3 years ago

Now, I am a fan of courtroom oriented books and movies, so naturally I would enjoy this novel, but for the person who finds law bland, this could still be the book for you. We all know John Grisham is a master at suspenseful storytelling and intricate plots, and he sure does not throw away that reputation with this work. An intelligent novel, with interesting… + read more

Slow and Boring

9 years ago

As The Runaway Jury was the third John Grisham novel I read, I was quite disapointed. There is not enough action such as courtroom brawls etc. I was bored from page 1, and was glad when it ended. This book is nothing like A Time to Kill or The Chamber.

Not Mr. Grisham's best work.

10 years ago

The plot was slow moving and thoroughly uninteresting. The characters were not well developed. Although the author tried to give us insight into each and every juror's psyche, I couldn't tell what made them tick. I also found it hard to keep track of these people: 12 jurors, 3 extras, countless lawyers on each side, and even more outside parties working undercover for the lawyers.

The best aspect of this novel was the thorough and elaborate description of the effects of smoking and the… + read more
