Of all the Grisham novels out there this one stands out as not just a high-powered courtroom drama and a battle of wits but also as a testimony to the deep-seated racism prevailing in America's south. Not that Grisham hasn't explored complex subjects apart from just the legal, but this one must have...
This is one of my all time favorite books, it was the first John Grisham book i ever read and it took me less than a day to read it.
