This book gives you a great look into how things used to be in the deep south. Unfortunately things like this still happen today. This is one of my favorite Grisham books and the movie is just as good. It will teach you a thing or two while entertaining you at the same time.

One of the greatest books of all time.
Am a Grisham fan and this is my favorite of his books… It touched me from the start.
Johnston Grisham at his absolute best. The vengeful father with a heartbreaking loss of a daughter. The underdog attorney with right on his side. The spunky secretary. What’should not to love? Such well written characters and plot that this unforgettable novel translated wonderfully to a major motion picture.
