Ilustration As Books The Last Juror
In 1970, one of Mississippi s more colorful weekly newspapers, The Ford County Times, went bankrupt. To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a 23-year-old college dropout, named Willie Traynor. The future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. Willie Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his newspaper began to prosper. The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courthouse in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial came to a startling and dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison. But in Mississippi in 1970, life didn't necessarily mean life, and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.Specify Books To The Last Juror

Ok I just recently came back to my love of literature since my Harry Potter craze & I immediately stumble upon this book from my cousin. I approached it with an Open mind & one heart.

Also the Author Tackles Race and Discrimination soThe Last Juror is my first Grisham novel, and it definitely won't be my last. I enjoyed reading this book, even though for the most part I felt like I was reading a different book from the one described by the back cover. It advertised The Last Juror as a thriller, and so I expected more action, perhaps some exciting game of cat and mouse between our protagonist and the antagonist, but what I got is a character-centric book that has a water-downed version of the elements of a good element.
A great pleasure to read. A nice story with good atmosphere. As always, Grishams writing is witty and down to Earth.
Great read!!
This was the first John Grisham book that I ever read. A friend recommended Sycamore Row and sent me an e-book to read. E-books are not my favorite format. I prefer paper. But I liked what I managed to read of the book. Here was an author who knew how to keep the reader's interest.My interest was piqued and I tried to look for the book in my library. I failed to find it, but I wanted to read something else by John Grisham and picked up The Last Juror.As it turned out, the plot of the novel was
This is the first Grisham book I've ever read, and it is really not a court drama, despite the implications of the title. In 1970, 23-year-old Willie Traynor moves to the small city of Clanton, Mississippi, and buys the local newspaper, which has recently gone bankrupt. Soon after this, a local woman is raped and murdered by Danny Padgitt, son of the "redneck mafia" that is the Padgitt family. The story vaguely meanders around the trial and subsequent fallout over the next several years, but
