I got hooked on Grisham when the Firm was first in print and then came the movies and I enjoyed those too. I still find the books draw me in much more than the movies. I guess the movies don't take as long to watch as the books take to read.

My husband and I were just discussing him a few days ago. We watched one of the movies together, which started a conversation about John Grisham, the lawyer, and how he started writing. He is one of my husband's favorite authors and I have to agree, he can definitely write riveting stories.

Just as you described, it's hard to put his books down, then at the end comes the sigh of relief and the realization that you've practically been holding your breath the whole time you've been reading.

I agree with you, Olivia, that his books make wonderful reading -- Summertime or anytime! I think Grisham's legal thrillers are so good as he is a lawyer himself who grew up in Mississippi and really knows both the world of law and Southern small towns and attitudes.
