John Grisham fans

Are there any fans out there in the erudite world of Mumsnet Bookclub?

I know the critics view his books as formulaic and of no critical value but I love his work and imo, an author who can transport me into another world with engrossing stories, is very talented. I find his dry wit, pithy delivery and sardonic undertones humorous and once I immerse myself into one of his novels, I find it difficult to put down. DH loves him too and we are on a mission to read all his books (I've read about 8 so far).

I've just finished reading The Broker and it was superb. As the drama unfolded, my heart was racing as I was cheering on the anti-hero. A thoroughly enjoyable and absorbing read. Despite that, I think my favourite book is between The Street Lawyer (I finished that in one day when I was on holiday) and The Partner. I know you might find this strange but I found the ending in the Partner so sad and so unexpected that it played on my mind for daysBlush. Again, I felt so sorry for the anti-hero.

Anyway, which is your favourite Grisham book?

I'm currently reading The Firm. The trouble is I keep running the film through my head and of course, the script does differ considerably from the book(lol).

DH has just finished The Chamber so he has completed all the fiction novels. I've just ordered Grisham's new book from Amazon which is non fiction and the reviews I've read rate it highly.

Has anybody read Bleachers? DH was not impressed with that one.
