Do you have any ideas about what i could write about the styler of writing or the era? ]]> 278746@blogcritics.org Sun, 27 Nov 2005 11:56:58 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/23/120719.php#comment-20601 Thanks for the detail, Theory. I sort of stopped following him after his first couple novels. Nothing wrong with some diversity. I might have to check this book out. ]]> 20601@blogcritics.org Sat, 27 Sep 2003 13:31:57 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/23/120719.php#comment-20408 I would assume he's still going to be writing laywer novels. His first non-laywer novel was the massive The Painted House, which was a nice story about a young boy growing up on a struggling cotton farm in post-depression america. Then he released the short story Skipping Christmas. Since then he released The Summons and King of Torts, both lawyer stories. Granted, they're not as good as stuff from his prime (ie: The Firm through The Street Lawyer). So basically, it seems that he's focusing more on story telling than making sure everything is based around lawyers. But he's also not neglecting his background. ]]> 20408@blogcritics.org Fri, 26 Sep 2003 12:09:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/23/120719.php#comment-20373 So Grisham is moving away from lawyer based stories? Or is this novella just a brief excursion? ]]> 20373@blogcritics.org Fri, 26 Sep 2003 10:09:24 EDT
