i thought that this book was very anticipating yet interesting. it kept me wanting to read it until the end. theres some action in it and theres a lot of drama on both sides of the conflict. although much of the book was in the courtroom i could say that much action was taken place outside of the courthouse. there are characters that i think the author makes u not like which is understandable considering what they've done. then theres the people u feel sympathy for and can do nothing about it. overall i would rate this a 4 star novel

Not exactly a fan of Grisham's novel but 'A Time to Kill' did open up my mind on terms of justice and the meaning of law.The "beauty" of discrimination and the "joy" of suffer and anguish.Personally, I'm impressed with the theme that he presented and the flow of his idea in captivating the reader's point of view.To be able to "sense" the meaning of democracy and to share the same enthusiasm makes me merely impressed with his writing.What we've read in his novels are some of the normal "thing" that happens in our lives but it takes so much more in "bringing" it to life.That is what John Grisham has done to me and definately to all his readers.

" A time to Kill" - the most fascinating novel I ever read ..it hasa mixture of drama,suspense,action and comedy..it has everything that will make your reading time unnotice as if you don't want to stop until the end...more power to John Grisham....

John Grisham is an excellent writer, and this collection of four of his works is great. The story behind The Chamber is griping, strong and emotional. The Client is a quick paced enjoyable book, and A Time to Kill is an incredible book of the justice system in our country. I was never extremely fond of Pelican Brief, so I'll leave out a comment on it. Excellent books for people of any age.

Half way through I started to lose interest. I have an opinion about capital punishment, and John Grisham caused me to examine it more closely. However, the point to me was not whether or not it is it right, but why does it take so long to carry our these sentences? I suspect his motivation for writing this book may lie, in part, in an attempt to sway the reader to his thinking. The book drags for the last half, and I wasn't swayed.

The Chamber, a book which makes one rethink his position on capital punishment, is both a literary and a political landmark of our time. Grisham is able to synthesize intellectual genius with literary prowess! Excellent!!!

It was a very fullfilling book,expressing both the emotional & physical aspect of life in Mississppi,with plenty of action from the Ku Klux Klan-a real thriller to read.Compared to the others, this one clearly shimmers through.I love it

I have read all of Mr. Grishams books and this is one of the best ones so far. The subject of the KKK's and the racial confrontations was shocking but the truth. I have never felt so much emotion in a book before. Anger, fear, sadness, everything. If you want to read a book that you will never put down, read this one
