pickEverything you want in character and place. Loved this read even better than his legal thrillers. A satisfying collection of stories.

A kindle special I probably would not have bought had I realised it was short stories but actually quite enjoyed. Grisham brings his characters alive with deft pen portraits - the stories are a real mix but overall I enjoyed even if there is some mining of previous themes

I think🤨 I‘ve learned a good lesson about impulsive book purchases🤦🏻♀️ I did not enjoy this one & reading was a chore. I dislike short stories generally & save and except the final story ‘Funny Boy‘, I found myself bored to the point of getting tired every time I picked it up. I‘m happy to finally be done with it.
pickFord County in Mississippi is the setting for this short story collection-the same locale used for A Time to Kill, A Time for Mercy, and Sycamore Row. Good stories but with Grisham, a whole novel works better for me than unconnected stories.

Love John Grisham! Just started this book. Happy Reading!!📚☕🌴
Dropped off 8 books and grabbed one for myself. This free library is near my YMCA and looks like it could use some more books!
pickI ❤️ this collection of short stories! It‘s the first time I‘ve ever thoroughly enjoyed each one. On another note, this is 1 of 2 physical books I was reading when my 4-legged kid died due to unexpected complications from surgery. It took me forever to pick it up again, but I finally finished it in her honor. RIP my sweet faithful reading companion. You will always have a place in my lap. 💔🐶
so-soThis was a pleasant enough group of stories starting off well with Blood Drive, but I don't think the other stories lived up to this early promise. John Grisham read the stories in my audiobook version, reading them well generally although he wasn't as good with speech. If you enjoyed A Time to Kill you might enjoy these as they are set in the same area, Ford County.
This audiobook is narrated by the author, John Grisham. #audiobooks
Have you ever listened to a book narrated by the author? Which author?
Do you feel the author narrating their own books is a good Idea? Why?
Who are the good and bad examples of this?
Just started listening to Ford County by mistake! I downloaded it thinking it was the follow-up to A Time to Kill! 😱🙄It was late and did do it just before I went to sleep! Of course what I should have downloaded is Sycamore Row! Anyway downloaded it so am now listening to it, even if short stories are not my favourite.
