It is strong story ,original and striking.A young lawyer secretly chases to be his grandfather's lawyer in his firm.
without getting fired he gets the job and to meet his grandfather first time in his life and save him and ofcourse
his client.very complicated and big challenge for a young man at the beginning of his career.he confronts his family
history that was hidden from him for years.This part of book looks a spoiled family story.
The powerful and striking part is the american justice.While reading you can see the flaws,the irrational uncomprehensible
applications of american justice.Grisham has justice background and knows justice system.In the book he puts some powerful
evidences to show and critice system.I am personally against death penalty I think as well as Grisham.Governor and all involved in Sam's case suspect and know that he is not the man.The man committed crime remains free and put aside in the book.Sam even confesses to priest while sitting next to his grandson/lawyer and all know that there is not anything left to save him.and Grisham takes you to the corridors of death row,and the chamber,strange and uncomprehensible scenes emerge on your mind,and also have you see how a show is staged during the preparations.Grisham puts evidences to criticize and show
how american justice works,how governor acts ignoring justice but wellcomes publicity,how Sam's office hire law students to make false calls to support Sam.Grisham shows both side of justice and all the actors.
I am personally against death penalty.It is weird.Someone committed crime and murdered but other officer pulls the lever and murders someone because it is written in the book,because people elected other people to set laws,do these make officer innocent.Death penalty is a revenge game.To hit back equally in the same quality but laws cannot sort out a way to kill someone several times in case murderer killed more than one person.In many points Grisham stresses that it is a just a show no matter what you believe or support,public with all actors in it prepares and commits a crime in the name of revenge.That is why in the book there are many questions Grisham asks to have readers understand the weird situation and how it is pointless.
After a bit search about Grisham I saw that his novels were subject to several movies that I like most of them ,like
the Firm in which Tom Cruise and Gene Hackman star,Pelican Brief of Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington,the Client and Runaway jury.Grisham uses his lawyer background and advantages of his job to have people think about system and the problems of how it runs.
His website,you can see his videos talking his last work.
