Title: Refreshing change of pace
Review: "The Last Juror" is a bit of anomaly. There are many times when I have read non-fiction and found it hard to believe that the story is TRUE. While reading "The Last Juror" I had to keep reminding myself that it was in fact fiction. Such is the charm of Grisham's novel... it is warm, chraming and, at times, thrilling.The actual story is fairly predictable and at points, brutally slow. Another slight annoyance is Grisham's portrayal of northern Mississippi. I feel that he has focused more on the stereotyopes of the region and less on actual day-to-day life (I have lived in NE Mississippi for the last 5 years).I think Grisham found a nice balance of legal thrillers with his more human interest type stories. I would suggest "The Last Juror" to anyone who enjoyed "Midnight in The Garden of Good And Evil". I definitely suggest it as a nice quick read, especially if you happen to be at the beach!
