Negative Positive
Title: Small towns rock!
Review: I've read all the novels John Grisham has written. I have liked some better better than others, but THE LAST JUROR reeled me in from the beginning. The protaganist is believable, and it is neat to watch him find his voice as he interacts with the residents in a small town. Grisham is meddling in "social history"--he hits class issues, civil rights, gun control, the buying habits of small town USA, and on and on.He has a disclaimer about certain Mississippi/Ford county laws with which he took liberty, but on page 114, he has the first Italians in Ford county loaded into 1904 Ford Model T's at the railroad station. Oops. The first Model T's were built in 1908.I'm glad that John, like Willie, has made lots of money doing what he likes to do. Now he has the resources to do a little experimenting. In my opinion, Grisham is never a dull read!
