Good Points

It ended with the word eulogy

Bad Points

The exposition, rising action, turning point, climax (if there was one) and falling action. I must say that I enjoyed the denouement, because it provided a somewhat understaffed, under qualified EMS squad to an absolutely devastating, gruesome train wreck of a novel.

General Comments

I found John Grisham, The Last Juror appalling. To begin with, the reader is lead into a false pretense of the general plot of the novel by simply reading the back cover of the book. In a section, which is on principal meant to offer a perspective reader only a glimpse into the adventure awaiting them within the text, this editor rather provides almost an entire summery of the novel (although neglecting to mention the 200 pages or so of sheer self-serving nonsense Mr. Grisham fills). Besides a basic lack of suspense, or more frankly, a basic lack of anything and everything this awful novel promises, my most fervent complaint is the blatant and unrelenting assault the author makes of the intellects of his reader. On the outside, this "fun" little read should be a cheap, drugstore mystery intended for airplane travels and summer laziness. However, during very, very long digressions from the main plot, Mr. Grisham insists on spouting his views of sex, religion, marriage, the south, the law civil rights, and anything else he can manage to lay his hands on. About half of the novel could be extracted due to the sheer pointlessness of the text. Even then, however, I'm afraid to say. Do not read this book. After you finish reading this review, never think about this book again. Your intelligence and your future time will thank me for it.
