Ann (annrumsey) | 16926 comments Spoiler free comments here for the 2014 March April Group Read book.
Are you planning on reading Sycamore Row? We had a lively discussion going for The Goldfinch in Jan-Feb so let's revisit Ford County with Jake Brigance.
There are 467 pages in the hardback edition, 48 chapters, no sections or chapter titles. I'll group the "spoilers welcome" comment threads into ten groups with five chapters each.

from Amazon: "John Grisham takes you back to where it all began . . .
John Grisham's A Time to Kill is one of the most popular novels of our time. Now we return to that famous courthouse in Clanton as Jake Brigance once again finds himself embroiled in a fiercely controversial trial-a trial that will expose old racial tensions and force Ford County to confront its tortured history."

Ann (annrumsey) | 16926 comments John Grisham's bio page on his website provides some background for both A Time to Kill, and now nearly twenty-five years later, Sycamore Row. http://www.jgrisham.com/bio/

Donnajo | 4353 comments Looking forward to reading the book. it's been so long since I read the 1st one. I think it was one my sister, me and even my bil was sharing the book. he probably never finished it. and it was before the book journal years.

BarryP (barrypz) | 3498 comments I guess this is a hint I should read this next.


Carol/Bonadie (bonadie) | 9483 comments Ann, I see you've been busy! I'm waiting for my library copy to come in, if it doesn't by Jan. 31 I will purchase from Audible.


Sherry  | 4515 comments i read it. i'll try and remember enough about it to discuss

Ann (annrumsey) | 16926 comments Carol: I hope these sets of 5 chapters are going to work out as breaks for Sycamore Row, the last time it seemed to take days to get to one of the spots where we could post. Hope your library copy comes in!

Ann (annrumsey) | 16926 comments Maybe, Barry! I am sneaking in The Gods of Guilt first (and feeling a bit guilty) :) Since it takes me longer than most to listen to an audio I should have gotten a head start, but a new Michael Connelly book available to download and listen from Overdrive was impossible to ignore!

LizH (liz_h) | 955 comments Gotta finish Lost Lake, then start and finish the new JD Robb, then I am in!

Liz, I loved lost love. let me know what you thought of it when you finished.


Donnajo | 4353 comments I jump started it but only read 1 chapter so far. seems good but I feel like I forgot the first book. so might have to do a refresher course on the links above.


Carol/Bonadie (bonadie) | 9483 comments I see that someone has started posting in the Sycamore Row threads but I won't look for fear of spoilers. Barry maybe?

I just got word that the audio is waiting for me at the library. Yay! I can't pick it up until Sunday so I am forced to start listening to Imitation in Death since I just finished Light of the World. I will put it down when I get SR, however.

BarryP (barrypz) | 3498 comments I have posted nothing but spoilers, so do not read my posts until you have read the chapters. I wrote before moving on, so none of my posts get ahead of where I should be.


Donnajo | 4353 comments Just to let you know chapter 6 starts on page 55.

I should have phrased that differently. Your posts *should* contain spoilers. I will be sure to wait until I've read the chapters.
