ACOT Message Board

I just finished The Appeal.  I love anything by him; I think had I not been a teacher, I would have loved to be an attorney!  They both love to talk!  It was especially thought-provoking, though not particularly a literary award-winner, due to the presidential campaigning/elections going on right now.   Exactly, where do all those millions of dollars for campaigning come from and are there "unspoken" strings attached? It was an easy, quick read and  I really  enjoyed it. I'm not a huge Nicholas Sparks fan, but I started The Choice by him because it was here.  But it's started out pretty good, too!  It has dogs involved, so that always keeps me interested! 

We have smilar tastes. I love John Grisham & not a big N.Sparks fan.

LOVE John Grisham. The Firm was the first novel I read after the twins were born. In spite of sleep deprivation, I read like crazy.I read the first chapter of The Appeal from John's website and am anxious for my turn with the actual book from the library. I am now 28 of 143 holds!Have you read Playing for Pizza or The Bleachers? These are a departure from his legal novels, but are fun books.

I LOVED Bleachers, but I'm a fan of anytthing football (i.e. Friday Night Lights, etc.).  Playing for Pizza was my least favorite.  But sometimes it's just the mood I'm in when I read!  If you haven't read A Time to Kill definitely stop by the library for it.  It reminds me of my all-time favorite To Kill a Mockingbird. 

Oh yes! A Time to Kill is my favorite of his books. I think it is the best, actually. I used to own one of the original copies of the book--not a reprint released after his The Firm made him a household name. I loaned it to someone and it was never returned.

I loved The Broker.
