Book Review #18
The Chamber
by John Grisham
Grisham is a good writer. The book is 675 pages, but he kept me reading. It's an affecting and a moralistic tale of a bitter old man facing the gas chamber and the lawyer grandson, whom he's never met, fighting against his execution. Regardless of one's views on capital punishment, you cringe reading about the cold mechanics of the chamber and feel an empathy for the growing love between these two very different men.
On the negative side, for the most part I did not care for the way Grisham ended his chapters and was extremely disappointed with the very end of the book.
