Title: The Last Juror is Low-fat, Salt-free Grisham
Review: "The Last Juror" - what a disappointment. It started out as such a promising grabber - only to fizzle into a frustrating bore. The character development was lame and where the heck was the plot? When reading Grisham's earlier books, I loved being "taken away"; after reading this book, I just feel "taken".As a Legal Aid lawyer, and having lived in a small southern city, I applaud Mr. Grisham's adroit handling of complex racial and social issues in previous books. In "The Last Juror", the character development and plot did not go far enough to either deal effectively with issues or entertain. I'd like to see Grisham take the same characters and write a sequel that has some bite.Please, Mr. Grisham, give us something rich and complex that we can sink our teeth into and then savor long after reading that last page.
