I'm not getting allworked up over it, don't misunderstand me. It's just one of those little nagging things that disappoints me about an otherwise great story. If put in the same situation (like this sort of thing happens to people all the time), I might have done the same thing...

CHILL BILL. It's just a story. Consider the fine job the author did in motivating your thoughts.

I am a latecomer to reading Grisham and have a comment about The Firm's ending vs. the movie ending. I am disappointed that he would have Mitch stealing $10M from the Moroltos. Stealing previously stolen money is still wrong and honestly makes him no better than the men he is running from. This is one of the few instances where I actually prefer the hack job Hollywood did to the ending of a book. Anyone else bothered by this?

Does anyone know where I can get some literary criticism on the book "The Rainmaker" by John Grisham?

Can anyone explain the ending of the Chamber to me?!
Did Lee and Adam get killed by the digger? I thought Rollie Wedge might be involved, but it states that the 3 men were black. May be they were just coming to dig the grave, but it sounded more ominous than that.

Would also like to know the differences between the book and movie of "A Time to Kill". Need it for a term paper asap. Thanks

Thank you for your response, Geoff. I have only read A Time to Kill, The Firm, and The Client, and I thought the endings were nothing surprising. I started reading The Chamber but didn't finish it. I personally enjoy legal fiction by other authors better, but I might read more by him someday.

Crystal-- What I Mean By Bad Endings is that it's not usually what i wanted. He kind of leave's you hanging in some of his books. I personally sometimes want to keep reading. I Guess that is also what makes him a good author. So, I guess i shouldn't call them "bad" endings.

have read so much about John Grisham's Book The Innocent Man which is mostly about Ronnie Williamson, But his co-defendant Dennis Fritz has his story to be told.
I just read a book that touched my 62 year old heart. I thought you may be interested in the book and story. Here is my review of it.
Journey Toward Justice By Dennis Fritz Publisher Seven Locks Press 2006.
The book Journey Toward Justice by Dennis Fritz is a memoir and John Grisham calls Compelling and Fascinating. Dennis Fritz is the real character in John's Grisham's Book The Innocent Man. The Innocent Man mostly is about his co-defendant Ronnie Williamson who was sentenced to death. Dennis Fritz who was sentenced to life behind bars and Ronnie Williamson were exonerated in 1999 after 12 desperate and tortuous years in prison, Ronnie Williamson passed away a few years later.. Thanks to The Innocence Project and Barry Scheck who were helpful in getting DNA testing needed that proved Fritz was innocent after serving 12 years in prison.. Dennis Fritz does not want only to be known as the man who was wrongly imprisoned for a murder with NO evidence against him. This story would interest everyone who has, are going to have a career in Law. Especially those in the Criminal Justice System in any capacity.
There is much more to his story never told before in his book. He says he witnessed miracles and actually heard God's voice telling him "TRUST ME". He solely relied on faith in God to make it through. This Book will make you think, This can happen to anyone of us. A Great book showing what Faith, Love and Hope can do.. .. Miracles.
Thank You for taking the time to read this
