John Grisham ê 8 Download review î The Reckoning If the murder weren't shocking enough it was even baffling that Pete's only statement about it to the sheriff to his lawyers to the judge to the jury and to his family was I have nothing to say He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave In a major novel unlike anything he has written before John Grisham takes us on an incredible journey from the. Far From One of Grisham s Best I typically enjoy anything by Grisham and rate them in the 4 star range most always The Reckoning fell well short of what I would expect from Grisham Most disappointing was that at about 30% of the book reads like an historical fiction account of World War II battles and not something I expected from a read of the book jacket or a typical Grisham novel While there is legal challenge and courtroom storyline this part of the story had little drama no surprises and an ending to the legal challenge that was obvious from the beginning Was hoping for a plot twist somewhere to redeem the book but it never came This seems like a story that Grisham just put out to meet a publisher s deadline as readers like myself expect A few nagging elements also including the fact that the son and daughter in the story refer throughout to their father and mother by first name Pete and Liza

John Grisham ê 8 Download review î The Reckoning October 1946 Clanton Mississippi Pete Banning was Clanton Mississippi's favorite son a decorated World War II hero the patriarch of a prominent family a farmer father neighbor and a faithful member of the Methodist church Then one cool October morning he rose early drove into town walked into the church and calmly shot and killed his pastor and friend the Reverend Dexter Bell As. I hated this book It was racist sexist and most damningly boring The way Grisham talked about the black characters was condescending and the way he talked about Mary Ann was both racist and sexist The reasons behind the crime were obvious and boring If Grisham wanted to write a book about the horrors of the Pacific theater during World War II he should ve just written that book but those chapters merely served to point out the lack in substance in the rest of the book I don t have sympathy for a family losing their land because their patriarch committed murder and I don t have sympathy for someone who planned a murder and refuses to divulge a motive to help their family understandI ve loved some of Grisham s past work and this was so bad that it makes me suspect that I was wrong to have enjoyed his writing everI read an e ARC through NetGalley
