I read an article about or interview with Grisham fairly early on. He spoke about A Time to Kill being his favorite, since he got to tweak it until his heart was content. He had no deadlines back then. It was published small. The Firm took off like a rocket because the movie rights sold before publication, which gave him a huge publicity splash. With its success, A Time to Kill was republished, this time big. His publisher was pushing him to strike again while he was hot. If I remember correctly, he said he wrote The Pelican Brief, not a simplistic story, in two months. He has been a genius in my mind ever since I read that anecdote in the article or interview.



If you like John Grisham - try Steve Martina and Philip Margolin

I too enjoyed A Time to kill but I am not sure of the movie firm ,Somehow I couldnt get my self to read the last page of chamber it was too sad and depressing but the current books have the same kind of story or the turn of events which has actually become john grisham stereotypical book
