Download The Last Juror: A Novel Audiobook

" John Grisham knows how to write about the South in the 70's. This book has wonderful characters, twists and turns, great description, and increasing levels of suspense. I enjoyed it. "

" I've also read "A Time to Kill" and "The Pelican Brief". Those titles are thrillers, while this is more a slice of life story of a (fictional) small town in Mississippi with a legal "thriller" tacked on, almost as an afterthought. I think it would have been better if this novel had just stuck to vignettes about life in the South and left the underdeveloped courtroom drama for a different book. Although, it's John Grisham, so, I suppose it had to be a courtroom drama. The worst part about that plot line was the predictability. There was no question for me who the killer(s) were at any point. "

" A good read. I wouldn't say that it is one of my favorites. I did enjoy the historical 60s & 70s aspect that was incorporated into the story. Grisham really made you feel like you lived in the time. His writing skills are truly incredible. "

" Interesting and a bit different for Grishiam. More focus on charters than mystery. "

" It started really well. Then it seemed he just got bored of the story so he decided to finish it. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were easy to get involved with, especially Miss Callie and her family. The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it crammed all the suspense with the jurors into the last pages of the book. "

" akhirnya ndie udah baca salah buku karangan john grisham.. ndie pikir buku john grisham bakal beda dengan buku sidney seldon ternyata sama aja penuh dengan adegan-adegan seks murahan.. dan menurut gw buku john grisham terlalu berat dan udah tentu bakal cocok kalo dibaca sambil nunggu orang dirawat di rumah (pengalaman pribadi nih) "

" Grisham seems to be getting bolder at his various presentations of the gospel within his recent books and this one clearly sets out the gospel in the faith-less protagonist's newspaper coverage of local churches and his relationship with a Godly mother-figure. "

" Not among Grisham's best, but still a solid/entertaining read. "

" This is the first John Grisham book that I've read and I really enjoyed it. It mixes courtroom drama (of course), mystery, a tale of friendship, social commentary, and information on southern culture. The narrator for the audio version is excellent. "

" This one got me going. Every Grisham fan should read this one. "

" Homor was great. Ending was not too good in my opinion. "

" This was not a straightforward thriller. It instead allowed Grisham to comment on life and politics in the South in the 70s. It was quite interesting and allowed him to develop the characters a great deal. And it was a bit of a thriller, too. "

" Very much enjoyed this book. This was my first Grisham read and I was thoroughly impressed. I've since read the rest of his books. I have enjoyed others as much, but none moreso that this. Great read. "

" Another excellent book from John Grisham, very interesting and like-able characters, the plot and story was original and top-notch. :) "

" I love all John Grisham's books, but I think this may be my favorite. I like his newer books better because they seem more real and less like a movie. He seems to get a little more under the skin and into who the characters really are. "

" Good, quick read. Story takes place in MS during the decade of the 70's. Tale takes into account race issues and big box stores. Interesting characters and community. "

" I enjoyed the ending. The middle of the story seemed to drag on for me. I'm not sure I could find the climax to the story, but it ended very well. Overall I gave it a 3 stars. "

" Not as good as his others. Expected more suspense and was a bit disappointed when I got to the end to not have much happen. Also I guess the ending so no last minute twist. "

" I loved this book. Old school Grisham! The south, strong characters, great story. It moved right along and I really enjoyed it. "

" It was a good John Grisham book. In my opinion not one of his best but still a book that kept you interested throughout. A good example of the media's effect on law. "

" A good solid read from John Grisham as you would expect. I was a little disappointed that the much touted "revenge" in the blurb was not quite as dramatic as I expected, but I enjoyed the story nonetheless. "

" Terrible, slow moving....unlike other Grisham books. NOT a court room thriller. Very hard to get through. Characters are not developed to make you care about them. "

" John Grisham remains a master of fiction... "

" I gave it 3 stars because I really liked Miss Callie, one of the main characters. It's kind of a gruesome storyline, but I appreciated the historical setting--1970 in the deep South. "

" This one wandered and had some sentimental moments that were poorly done and out of place in the story. This had great potential and never got to it. He's done much better. Try The Firm or Runaway Jury. "

" This book is an easy listen. There are some lagging parts in the story, but overall a good Grisham book. "

" My first John Grisham and, boy oh boy, did I enjoy this book. Shame the blurb on the back gave away three quarters of the plot, but I loved the writing, the broad scope of this, the neat way Grisham pulled the threads of the story together and the satisfactory ending. "

" This would have made a great short story.It could have been a good book but wasn't. I don't like waiting till page 295 to start on why I wanted to read this novel. "

" Better watch out for others, You can't tell the good guys from the bad. "

" Interesting story but not much of a climax. "

" I listened to this book on my drive to Utah recently. The plot was intriguing. My favorite part of the book is that Grisham goes beyond the murder plot to make this book about a woman who lived a great life and had a lot to be proud of. "

" I decided to give books on CD another try with the 4 hour daily commute. Oh man, how I loved it!!!! This one was a great one to start out with. I couldn't wait to get back in the car and continue the story! "

" Grisham keeps the tension up to the last. He makes you interested in all the characters. He has a great talent to weave the reality from his characters "

" Enjoyed this novel set in the deep south - about racial and cultural tensions and violence in the 70's. The protagonist was very "real" to me. "
