Looking forward to it!!
You’ve been my favorite author since I was 13 and in the 8th grade. I am now 45, a pastor’s wife of 22 years, and a mama of 6 precious babies. Two daughters who live on Earth with us, our son Ethan who lives in Heaven now (passed away from cardiac arrest at 3 months old), and 4 babies who we miscarried who live in Heaven, too. Jesus has been so faithful to us and gotten our family through so many tragedies and other hardships (our oldest had to have open-heart surgery as an infant, etc.), but your books have also been a welcome “escape” when I needed a distraction, something to look forward to, a steady “comfort food”, since books are such a comfort to me. I have raised my children to be Book Addicts, and am immensely proud of it. I just wanted you to know I am another person (because I’m sure there are many) for whom your books go way beyond just a story. I hope to one day be a published author who is able to impact the lives of my readers, as well. May God bless you and your family, John Grisham. Or, as you are affectionately known in our household, just “Grisham”. 🥹
Have pre-ordered as usual. I love your books! Always looking for the next one. Thank you for becoming an author!
Awesome. Glad that your getting bored with writing legal thrillers is improving even though your non-legal nooks have also been ok
Wow! Five stars! If you can't trust the author, who can you trust? I got hooked on The Pelican Brief and have read just about all the rest in order.
Good for you, Mr.Grisham, and those fans of yours who haven’t given up on you after The Exchange…. For me, I don’t know if I would pick it up, despite having read almost everything you’ve written until a year ago.
I've been eagerly anticipating your 2025 release! It will be a delightful addition to my cherished collection of your works.
I'm on the fence with this. I've read some pretty brilliant novels from Grisham, but lately there have been a few which are definitely dreary to the point I have almost given up on him.
Still, I got curious about this one. Let's see.
I second this Philip! Every single one of John Grisham sticks with you for the longest time ( AS IN FOREVER! )Starting with A time to kill!
I am also awaiting another Jake Brigance series!
Mr. Grisham, I still haven't forgiven you for killing Sooley. But still, I guess I'll have to buy the new one.
for Gordon, you wouldn't expect an author to publish a book unless he thinks it's worth 5 stars no ?
