4.9/5 (29995 ratings)

Description:Since the publication of The Firm in 1991, John Grisham has established himself not only as the most popular writer of legal fiction in the United States, but as one of the most widely read authors in the world. His novels are guaranteed to debut almost invariably at number one on the New York Times bestseller lists. The John Grisham Companion examines the entire body of his work, from his first effort, A Time to Kill, to his ninth and most recent release, The Street Lawyer.Many of Grisham's books attack some great social ill or entity: the death penalty, the tobacco industry, insurance companies, and most recently homelessness. Those who choose to operate within the legal system often find themselves sacrificing the way they live in order to do the right thing. The John Grisham Companion looks at the way in which each novel fits into Grisham's attack on that system and the huge law firms that sustain it. In addition to exploring the various themes and social issues he addresses, it provides detailed chapter-by-chapter plot synopses and analyzes the writing style of each novel.The John Grisham Companion critiques the films adapted from Grisham's novels, examining them both as adaptations and Works of art that stand alone. The section on Grisham's films Includes notes on how the movie differed from the book as well as items of backstage gossip. Matthew McConaughey, for example, star of A Time to Kill, has been linked romantically with both his leading ladies from the film, Ashley Judd and Sandra Bullock. The book also examines the television series based on The Client and The Gingerbread Man, the first film Grisham has written specifically for the big screen.The John GrishamCompanion provides the reader with biographical information about Grisham and is a must for the long-term reader of his works as well as the newcomer who wants to understand the literary phenomenon John Grisham has become.
