I very much enjoyed seeing behind the legal profession‘s curtain🥸 I find it all very fascinating, always have. The verbal sparring etc… between the Plaintiff & Defence counsels had me LOL several times🤣 Definitely not my last Grisham or legal thriller📚🤓

CoverToCoverGirl I really enjoy Grisham! 1mo

Mehso-so

(1994) Unpopular opinion, but it didn't work for me: too slow, too bloated, too many subplots that go nowhere. It's a legal drama following the legal maneuvers of an unpleasant old bigot and his lawyer grandson who represents him, as they await his execution for a terrorist bombing. It's an extended meditation on Southern history and on the death penalty.Grisham is against it. So am I and for similar reasons, but I just found the book exhausting

swynn Also: this was the bestselling book in the U.S. in 1994, and the final book in my Bestseller challenge, which has covered 100 years of American bestsellers, beginning with Ian McClaren's "Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush" (1895) and ending with "The Chamber." 4mo
ChaoticMissAdventures Congratulations on your challenge!! I remember enjoying this when it came out, but I was also obsessed with Grisham in general and was maybe 16, so my ideas of a good book were quite different! 4mo
Ruthiella Wow! Impressive. 👏👏👏 How long has it taken you to complete the challenge? 4mo

swynn @ChaoticMissAdventures Or you might still like it -- it may just be a mismatch of book, reader, and moment. 4mo
swynn @Ruthiella Nearly ten years: I read "Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush" in January 2015 4mo

The decision to bomb the office of the radical Jew lawyer was reached with relative ease.

It was a really great story. I was disappointed with the ending, but only because it didn‘t tie everything up perfectly. It‘s a very well-written and likely ending. There were a few characters I was left wondering about.

I picked this up on a whim at a habitat for humanity down in Pittsboro, North Carolina a couple years back and honestly did not expect to like it. A bit simple throughout but I couldn‘t help getting vested in the characters and the story as a whole. I enjoyed the pieces of Italian history, architecture, and opera throughout and I would say overall that this was a fun and enjoyable read.

Thanks for the tag, @MoonWitch94 #two4tuesday @TheSpineView

1. When the tree gives up. This year it was 1/1.

2. Rain. Snow means shoveling, even though our HOA is supposed to take care of it...

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 2y
MoonWitch94 Ughhh yes, I do not like the shoveling. It stresses me out 😵‍💫 2y
