Author, Hero
John Grisham creates characters that are so real his readers might suspect they’re based on people he knows. The characters come to life in plots that move quickly and brilliantly to a stunning or sweet conclusion. Their stories make a reader feel as if he or she is in the book, not just reading it. I can hear them saying the words written, see the courtroom or prison or other places described. I can feel the salt in the air at the beach and the see the scenes around me that John Grisham describes in his stories. His lawyer books are my favorites, I think. He brings his own personal knowledge of the career to the books. That helps bring his characters to life. But he has some sweet and amusing stories that aren’t lawyer based as well. There’s a good variety of reading by John Grisham. His short stories seem to be finished in a snap and his long stories flow along until you snap out of the book and say – “have I been reading this long?” Mr. Grisham is a bit of a personal hero to me, too. He persevered to get his dream of being published accomplished. He printed one of his first books and sold copies out of his briefcase basically until it got nationalized attention and a publisher picked it up. His courage could have been a basis of a book. I think only he should write it, though. John Grisham is my favorite writer.
