Great writing, but Grisham is a terrible narrator - he should not read his own books (  ) elifra | Dec 31, 2020 | A collection of short stories set in Clanton, Mississippi. I didn't find the characters very compelling and struggled to read through the stories. I wish I could say I enjoyed it more. (  )1  JenniferRobb | Apr 21, 2019 | Loved the stories in this book. Funny, poignant, serious tales that look at the life's of ordinary people in rural Mississippi. I don't usually read short story books but I am sure glad I picked up and read this one. (  ) foof2you | May 25, 2018 | Seven short stories about people in Grisham's home town. Memorable characters that held my interest in every story. Not all were legal thrillers, but they all seemed to have a legal bent to them. ( ) buffalogr | Mar 25, 2018 |
 The intermittent bursts of genuine thought and originality in “Ford County” show us how good [Grisham] might be if he weren’t so content to coast. Full of strong characters, simple but resonant plotlines, and charming Southern accents, this collection is solid throughout; though his literary aspirations may seem quaint, Grisham succeeds admirably in his crowd-pleasing craft while avoiding pat endings or oversimplifying (perhaps best exemplified in ""Michael's Room,"" which finds a lawyer facing the consequences of successfully defending a doctor against a malpractice suit).  Mr. Grisham can give his story an unexpected twist without need of a heavy hand. His novels sometimes moralize; these short stories don’t need to because they transform their agendas into pure, vigorous plot.
John Grisham returns to Ford County, Mississippi, the setting of his immensely popular first novel, "A Time to Kill," with this wholly surprising collection of stories. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
