About this product

Product Information

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.

    A Favorite

    I have been buying and reading John Grisham novels lately. I just finished this one, it was very good, his characters are so rich, the book held my interest throughout and I enjoyed it very much.

    Fans will likely love this book despite its weaknesses.

    Fans of Grisham will no doubt find a lot to like in The Last Juror, especially those well conditioned to the sparse, even lax, writing style that he and others have made very popular. The novel draws us into the adventures of a young man who goes to work, at age 23, for a small town newspaper and winds up owning it in short order. The heart of the story, however, revolves around the rape and murder of a woman living in the small town, the trial and sentencing of the accused. Fast forward nine years, with a few intervening details thrown into the mix, and the accused is out of jail and threatening the town by just being back in the area, even though no one knows what he's up to. The characters in this novel, including the narrator, are not sharply drawn and, indeed, are almost forgetable ...

    Fantastic Book

    This book is fantastic. I loved everything about this book, and it reminds me of one of Grisham's first book. The characters were so real and well-developed. There were really two plots going on in this book, and Grisham does a remarkable job of weaving these two plot lines together. The author's sense of humor is sharper than ever. The author here in true form doing what he does best, and you get the sense of an author who has all the confidence in the world. There are few contemporary authors in pop literature to compare to this author.

    Not as good as expected.

    I made a resolution to read a book a month. John Grisham's books that I've read are very good and hold my attention, until I read The Last Juror. I found it very hard to find the motivation to pick this book up each day. The jacket summary is what caught my attention; A killer is released and seeks revenge on the jurors that sent him away! However, after the killer went to jail, the book turned to politics, religion and just the boring life of a small Mississippi town. There was a twist at the end of the book, but it seemed like it was an attempt at a rush finish job. I thought the killer was going to kill the jurors, but The Last Juror would give him a run for his money. No such thing. I would not recommend this book, however I would recommend his other book, The Partner. VERY GOOD READ!!

    What a bunch of dreck

    John Grisham has just lost it. This book is sloppy and reflects a Grisham who is particularly good at nothing. He's not good at lawyering (some of his legal premises are preposterous, but we've known that forever); he's not good at writing (why does he tell us the same details about characters over and over); his history is fatally-flawed (the Mississippi in this book, set principly in 1970 makes me wonder where Grisham was living during this period) - Goat Roasts and Chitlins as white-folks food in 1970. Huh?? And best, a Glock pistol (not made until 1982) being wielded in 1970. He is too sloppy for his own good. I wish he'd keep up with the little league and stop wasting my time.
