Rainmaker was my favorite. Unrealistic, but fun to have

Grisham never clicked with me. I like Scott Turow (Presumed Innocent) better

It looks like Matthew McConaughey is going to return to play Jake in a series based on A Time for Mercy.

Sycamore Row was great. Also really like the Guardians.

4/14/21 12:53pm

His sports books are excellent. Bleachers, Calico Joe, & Playing For Pizza.

IMO, JG was at his peak during his first eight books or so.

For a Grisham change of pace I recommend "Calico Joe", especially if you like

I'll try it out

4/14/21 1:59pm

The Firm in my opinion is the all time best but I have all of his books and have

Reckoning was really good. Camino Island and Rooster Bar were fun

The Client is my favorite of his. Read it multiple times as a kid

shakavaka

Re-watched The Client recently, the acting is tremendous - especially the kid
