" A heart-wrenching situation, corrupt politics, legal drama, justice and injustice - it's all there in this hard-to-put-down novel. This book causes one to ponder the virtues of vigilante justice and would make a great discussion because there are many social, personal and legal issues presented. The characters are well developed and the writing style is fast-paced and highly readable. "

" This book was amazing. I read it many years afte rthe movie came out, and was actually hesistant to read it because of the movie. So glad I didn't listen to my own thoughts because this book was much better than the movie, and I read it in less than a day. Must read! "

" A good read, but in my opinion should be followed by The Chamber. Whilst there is a time to kill so to speak, The Chamber changed my view on capital punishment altogether. "

" the best john grisham novel for me.. ! :) What would you do if a love one or your daughter was raped and brutalized? How can a father seek justice to what happened to his daughter when most of the people discriminate them just from the color of their skin? :) "
