Title: John , We Hardly Knew Ye
Review: What has happenned to the author of such thrillers as The Firm, and Runaway Jury ? With The Last Juror Grisham seems to be continuing his journey to who knows where ( but obviously the trip includes the bank ).I really wanted to like this book, but didn't. Whoever wrote the NY Times reivew on the cover, " One of his best: a thouughtful and atmospheric thirller" clearly did not read the book. It might be atmospheric, but a thriller it isn't. Also, it seems real preachy, ie hard working loveable black mother raises a bunch of PhD's and charms the young newspaper editor with food and stories about how hard it was back in the dark old days in Mississippi. Been there and got the t-shirt many times.This book is in the category of Grisham's The Testament for which he should have been prosecuted for writing.Save your money.
