Paula Mills asked this question about The Reckoning:
Why do you think Grisham had to go into so much detail about the war story? I don’t think it really was that relevant to the plot and was way too long and graphic. It was not his usual style and I was disappointed with the book.

The book 'Ghost Soldiers' is a great book on the Bataan Death March and much of Grisham's descriptions seem to come right out of that book. I was extremely disappointed in this book and feel that Grisham's best work is behind him. I have continued to read his books looking for the old Grisham but this is my last.(less)
