Title: Wrong choice for a second Grisham read
Product review: After finally reading Grisham's "A Time To Kill" which I thoroughly enjoyed and couldn't put down, I chose this, "The Runaway Jury" as my second Grisham novel. While it is a decent book, it is a tad on the boring side. Some of the characters' names are weird and awkward to pronounce ("Durr" Cable and Nicholas Easter). This adds a certain degree of difficulty to getting through the book in less than 7 or 8 days and the characters are about as dull as their names. The story of the "biggest" tobacco trial in history lacks the drama that would be implied, is a bit far-fetched and is sort of anti-climactic. I didn't find myself really caring one way or the other about which side would come out victorious.Luckily, this book is still good enough that it hasn't turned me off of continuing my self-introduction to Grisham. Perhaps "A Time To Kill" was a bit easier and more enjoyable having been familiar with the movie. I give "Runaway Jury" 4 stars.
