A review by jjc245
A Time for Mercy by John Grisham

2.0

I am baffled as to all the 4 and 5 star reviews, are people just blinded by the Grisham name? This is the most unsatisfying book I’ve read in years. You didn’t finish the book JG! Where’s the rest of it?! Imagine my surprise when the audiobook was over when I was expecting at least 10 more chapters. Did you just get tired of this character and story arc? How was this a Best Book of the Year? Make it make sense! Also there’s some extremely unethical business by the main character and his family that isn’t explained well at all, maybe JG just didn’t write that chapter. As well as some ham-fisted prolife garbage about abortion being murder and never acceptable under any circumstances. I don’t read Grisham for literature but I’ve never finished one before and been so utterly confused about what he was doing. He phoned this one in and it’s obvious.
