The Runaway Jury

Post by Who2 »

Now this is a great book by John Grisham all about smoking, slow death and corruption.

As is my want, I'm 2 thirds in and I want to see if there is a film of the novel.
Watched it last night, great film brilliant cast, brilliantly performed, but, but they have changed it from Smoking to a 'smoking Gun plot.

As a smoker & sometimes toker the book is quite horrific ( it makes one quickly reach for a fag )
So, I recommend both the book and the film, the book being far superior and for smokers 'a wake up call' all in all *5 stars…
I just love courtroom dramas,……...Iv'e been in a few…… :cool:

I came late to John Grisham but thoroughly enjoyed all his work except one book, not saying which.

I did him the honour of collecting every book he wrote.
Smile! It confuses people
