    The Last Juror by John Grisham is a well-written story with colorful characters and a fast-paced plot. This is definitely one of Grisham's best.

    What can I say? Another brilliant bit of writing from John Grisham. The final coup was in the revelation (unwritten) that poor old Danny Padgitt had not in fact been carrying out his murderous threat but that Hank Hooten, previously mentioned and described, (almost as if to simply add colour) as a rather ineffectual second fiddle to the Prosecution Counsel, and then almost as if in a parallel plot in the shooting from the roof scene, had flushed Danny out and off the Island in a most twisted, ...

    The Last Juror by John Grisham focused on a time when the civil rights movement was just starting to happen. I enjoyed the fact that Ms. Callie was the last juror selected.

    John Grisham, The Last Juror - I loved the trial and the ending, but the ending kept you hanging, I thought.
