"This was a pretty good book. It kept me guessing. I had backed off Grisham's books because the last few I had read was basically the same story line with different characters. This one was different. Pretty suspenseful and twisted. I enjoyed it."
— Stephan (4 out of 5 stars)

" I found this book tedious and never-ending with a very predictable outcome. "
— Dee, 1/18/2013 -

" Really only a 4.5, but so entertaining. "
— Rod, 6/15/2011 -
" One of Grisham's better books. The movie was actually better, but the book is very good. When you step back from it the premise is somewhat unbelievable but Grisham does it so well that you get sucked into it. "
— Edward, 5/11/2011 -
" Exciting to the very end. "
— Kimberly, 5/2/2011 -
" I felt that The Runaway Jury dragged on a little too much and kind of fell flat on anything interesting. I also felt that the antics of the jury was pointless, ridiculous, and completely irritating. "
— Stefanie, 4/29/2011 -
" Classic Grisham, in the court. If you like courtroom dramas you will love this. "
— Terry, 4/29/2011 -
" I wish I could do 3.5. I thoroughly like it when I read it. The only reason I didn't rate it higher was because it was a total cotton candy read. No thought provoking issues or anything like that but it was a nice quick page turner. "
— Jenny, 4/23/2011 -
" Different to the movie, but just as compelling. Tightly structured, great twists and thrilling pace. A great holiday read. "
— David, 4/23/2011 -
" Better than the movie :) "
— Sarah, 4/19/2011 -
" A great story about the tobacco industry and how lawyers can rig a jury. "
— Randy, 4/16/2011 -
" Very informative about tobacco companies and juries. And a great story to keep you intensely interested. Nice twists and just a great read. "
