It took me some time to read this book because of time restraints, but once I got going, it was hard to put down.  John Grisham is a great story teller, and I truly enjoyed  "The Confession".

I always find John Grisham's books among my favorites.  The plots are always new and he is a master at describing his characters and their circumstances.  I find all of Grisham's  books entertaining and interesting reads.

John Grisham surprised me with this story, but pleasantly so. He did not fail to keep my attention. He is indeed a wonderful story teller. I don't normally like sequels but would love to know what happens to Luke in the big city and whether he eventually fulfills his dream of becoming a national baseball player. Grisham conveyed such a descriptive setting in the cotton fields. I felt like I was on the ground beside Luke as he looked up to the sky between the tall plants. I was leary at first, knowing that Grisham has written most of his books around the legal world. This story, particularly, took me back to days I've heard of from my grandparents and parents. I actually felt as though I were stepping back in time. He is truly one of the best writers I have read!

John Grisham is a talented writer and he hasn't written a book I haven't liked.  Some are yarns and some are morality tales, and some capture the stories of real characters like people dealing with real problems.  This book is one of the latter, and set in Mississippi, a state still recovering from the institution of slavery the Civil War, and the Great Depression.  Grisham expertly captures how the people of a Mississippi small town deal  with the tragic past and pull together for the future.

Grisham is a master storyteller who engages the reader right from the start.  His charming characterizations of the people of Clanton, Mississippi and the way that familiar characters (Jake Brigance, Harry Rex Vonner, Judge Atlee) turn up and interrelate in many of his stories endears them to you all the more.  Sycamore Row centers around an all-too-familiar plot, the Will contest and the lengths to which the parties and their lawyers will go when there is a fortune at stake.  Jake Brigance has the unpopular task of defending the Will while he deals with the concerns of race relations in the old and the new South.  It is difficult to put the book down and, as always, Grisham leaves you wanting more.

I love John Grisham's writing style.  He delivers the story and details without inundating you with unnecessary details. He also creates characters that are not perfect. His characters have flaws and you are shown them. I would not classify this book as a sequel, but more a return to earlier characters.  You are shown the after effects of a Time to Kill on the characters from that story, plus are introduced to new ones.

I worked in law offices so I loved this. John Grisham never lets you down his stories are interesting and with the times.

The Confession strongly and effectively uncovers the questionable use of the death penalty as a means to bring justice. Using his ability to weave a spellbinding story, law, and social issues, John Grisham provides an entertaining story. Another great read by the master.

John Grisham is a master story teller.  This book is filled with fantastic plot twists.  Until the end, you are drawn into an unusual will contest where a small town millionaire hangs himself and writes a holographic will disinheriting his children and grandchildren in favor of his final housekeeper and caregiver.  This book is why we read.

I have read almost every book John Grisham wrote. Some I liked better than others but I really enjoyed this book.

I HAVE BECOME TOTALLY TRUSTFUL OF GRISHAM'S WRITING. EVERY BOOK IS VERY READABLE. ALTHOUGH HE WRITES ALMOST TOTALLY ABOUT CRIMES AND COURT PROCEEDINGS, THEY ALL FEEL TO ME AS A TOTALLY NEW PLOT AND I FORGET THE REST OF THE 20 ODD BOOKS I HAVE ENJOYED.
IT IS MY WISH THAT JOHN GRISHAM CONTINUES TO DELIVER THESE WONDERFUL STORIES TO US FOR MANY MORE YEARS.

I think that I have enjoyed every book that John Grisham has written and _The Racketeer_ is no exception.  He specializes in putting normal people that you empathize with into bad situations.  You go along their decisions because you might make make the same decisions in their circumstances.  Like I said, very good stories.

I have read all of John Grisham's books. Never disappointing. The characters are believable and most of the time likeable.
You never know where he is going with the plots. I knew from the begining Seth would turn out to be a very descent person
but, never expected the twist the story took.
