John Grisham

Recenzje

Terrific affecting Grisham has done it again. Such creative longevity is not that unusual in the suspense genre, but what is rare is Grisham s feat of keeping up the pace of producing, on average, a novel a year without a notable diminishment of ingenuity or literary quality. Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post

Grisham again delivers a suspenseful thriller mixed with powerful themes such as false incarceration, the death penalty and how the legal system shows prejudice. The Guardian team of characters is first-rate. Associated Press
 
With his début, 1989 s A Time to Kill, Grisham established himself as a skilled storyteller, a writer who can nimbly portray complex characters who overcome their fears and flaws to pursue justice.  Thirty years later, his authorial prowess glows again in this riveting tale. Fredericksburg Free Lance Star
 
[Grisham] has created a powerful no-nonsense protagonist that you cannot help rooting for in a story stocked with tension and flavor that will have you flipping the pages to a very satisfying ending. Florida Times-Union

Grisham s colorful prose is riveting, and the issue is a timely one that can be too easily overlooked His fictional legal happenings convey a loud and clear ring of veracity. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The Guardians, the newest legal thriller from John Grisham, a true wizard of the form, is certainly not going to disappoint. Fans of the author are going to find it wholly satisfying. Anniston Star
