If you like John Grisham

You will like his newest book The Boys From Biloxi. A true Grisham read.

(I hesitate to post this and completely finshed the book before posting as it seems there have been a couple of posts that in my opinion were spoilers in TV and Movies forum and did not want it to happen here.)

I just listened to the audio version, & like most of his other books, loved it ! I think he tells a great story! & have even reread many of them.

It was a very good book. I also like John's junior lawyer books for young adults. That thirteen year old Theo Boone will make an excellent partner one day in his mom and dad's law firm.

@Imaoldhippie

I made sure to write Spoilers for my thread. It's only for people who have read the book to answer a question that I have.

Got halfway through and got bored with it. Put it aside but I will pick it back up. I have never been a big Grisham fan. So far Biloxi Boys is just a timeline of facts. Not much feeling to it.

My favorites are the ones he wrote outside the legal genre ( although I love them too!). A Painted House was wonderful.

@Imaoldhippie , I am not surprised this is a true story as it certainly read like one to me. Thanks for pointing that out. LM

Everytime the movie The Firm is on I watch it. I loved that movie. I can't remember liking the book as much-maybe because Tom Cruise wasn't in the book. (haha) Holly Hunter was soooo good in the movie. Haven't seen it in a couple of months-I need my Firm Fix so I hope it's on soon. No commercials! I do NOT do commercials in my movies.

DH enjoys Grisham's books...he has read all of them except his newest two books. He got Boys from Bikoxi for Christmas and will be starting it soon. Grisham is a great writer.

His book 'Calico Joe' is an older one and different from his usual. I enjoyed it. He is one of my favorite authors.

@Judaline

I had to pull up the cast for this movie. I read the book back in the 90's and saw the film once. I swear I do not remember Holly Hunter being in this. I don't know why I was thinking Julia Roberts.

@icezeus You're thinking of The Pelican Brief! That was a good movie-Grisham again. Julia Roberts was in that one.
