Week 45 Book 74
A Time For Mercy by John Grisham
Rating: 3/5
After a couple of duds, finally Grisham is back in action. His latest book featuring one of his most popular characters, Lawyer Jake Brigance, is reminiscent of his earlier, critically acclaimed work. I was missing the old Grisham and I'm glad he is back.
While the plot, characters, setting, etc are interesting, the book is very long - almost 500 pages! It could have been tauter, shorter. Also, the ending was not very satisfying, perhaps he set up stage for a sequel. Hence the lower rating. Nevertheless, this one was much better than his last couple of books, I stayed up late at night to finish it in the middle of the week! If you're a Grisham fan, you'd wanna read this one!
