Bite-Sized Book Reviews - Sycamore Row by John Grisham

I haven't picked up a Grisham novel in years. I used to read them all up until they started to feel a little cookie-cutter after King of Torts. However, when I found he'd penned a sort of sequel to A Time to Kill, I had to check it out. A Time to Kill was his first novel, but it didn't take off like he'd hoped and it wasn't until the success of The Pelican Brief, The Firm, and The Client that people started to notice A Time to Kill and fell in love with Ford County and the characters of Jake Brigance, Harry Rex, and Lucien. All these years later, Sycamore Row takes us back to those same characters and it was a very comfortable world to slip back into. The ending seemed a little drawn out and I don't think it landed with as much impact as it could have, but the overall story was interesting and it was great to delve back into Grisham's world. I'd certainly recommend it if you enjoyed A Time to Kill.
