On one of my many trips, I noticed John Grisham’s new book. I am really never a fan for legal thrillers, or John Grisham. But I knew he’s famous and never read any of his works, so I searched. Clearly, A Time to Kill<\/em> is his first novel that he struggled to publish in 1989. It was not a hit that made him rich and famous. That will be The Firm<\/em>. After that, people re-discovered this book which gradually became the most loved one by his fans. Now that’s interesting. So I checked out a library copy. I liked the book, but it did not convert me to a legal thriller person. Now that I have made acquaintance to Mr. Grisham, I planned to move on to my usual genres.<\/p>\n Then I noticed the movie, acted by then less shiny stars in 1996: Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey, and Ashley Judd. Again, against my usual practice of avoiding movie adaptations, I watched. Again, I was pleasantly surprised. The movie was well adapted, well made, and well acted. In fact, as a rare event, it made the book more enjoyable after the fact.<\/p>\n So, in this double review, I recommend you to watch the movie and read the book, yes, in that sequence. You would thoroughly enjoy Mr. McConaughey’s performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On one of my many trips, I noticed John Grisham’s new book.
