A couple of years ago, a librarian suggested I start reading this new author, John Grisham, who I had not heard anything about. I read The Runaway Jury, and loved it. it ended up being my book report for the trimester. I read about 10-plus books by Grisham, and loved them all.
So knowing I needed a new book, I saw that The Appeal was on my Goodreads list. I got the book yesterday, and while I've only read a few pages of it, I know this book has the potential to be great in my mind. The novel starts with a jury decision being made, with lawyers somewhat shocked to how abrupt it is: "Could it really be over? After they had waited for an eternity, could it end so suddenly? So abruptly? With just a phone call? (Grisham 5)" Being 5 pages in, we're already in on the action of the original case. I only say original because the book is titled, The Appeal, so you know that, with whatever verdict is, it's going to be appealed, with a possibly different (or same) outcome.
Thank you to those who are reading this. I'll be sure to go into more detail about the book next post. I know I'm going to enjoy this book, like you will be enjoying this post!
I have never heard of this author either. But this book seems fascinating and I think I might want to read it later in the year. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI had actually heard of this author before and I love some of the books he has wrote. I think that you will really enjoy this book and I think that I will need to read this book at some point
