I really enjoyed this book. It was the usual top quality that you can expect from Grisham. The plot was completely original and to this day it is one of my favourite books. I would definately recommened this book to anyone who likes a fast moving, adventurous and gripping book.

I have read 6 of John Grishams novels now and this was a real page turner from the outset. The story centres around a massive court case involving the largest tobacco companies in the world and the lengths they well go to, to secure a verdict in their favour. At times the plot gets weighed down with court precedure but don't let this put you off. The book keeps you gripped right up to the last 50 pages or so when you can pretty much guess the ending. Other than that, a right riveting read!

Certainly one of Grisham's best works. Runaway Jury has just the right combination of Drama, acttion and interesting insight to the ugliness of the legal process.
The main character Nicholas Easter is compelling and really brings about a real reason to think about just how much justice can be served when going up against massive corporations with virtually unlimited resources power and influence.
unlike some of Grisham's other works this novel is tight non-repetitive and a good strong read. Well worth the price.
