^You can always check Amazon or Barnes and Noble website for synopsis.

Lawyer kasi si Grisham so most of his novels revolve around lawyers, courtroom drama or anything related to it. I have read one book of his - The Testament. Its an ok book pero since I study law na ayoko na din magbasa ng anything law related haha

I love Grisham's work especially "The Chamber". I don't like "Playing for Pizza". Wala pa bang paper back [textspeak!] "The Associate"?

new/sealed paperbacks still sell 299 (or 399?)/copy at Powerbooks and National Bookstore. pero kung ok lang sa yo yung used or previously owned, madami sa Booksale, mas mura pa.

I love Grisham too! :D

May sense kasi. Hindi lang yung basta novels na iisa lang ang climax at medyo mababaw ang point of argument. And factual si Grisham kasi. Ipapakita talag yung harsh reality of life. How the oppressed get more oppressed by the day.

I started reading Grisham novels way back in college pa. Then I get to read na every quite so often. My fave would be "The Street Lawyer". Good book. Two thumbs up.  ;)
