Recalling Dickens and other 19th century fiction... Riveting.
Sunday Times
What he does so well is to people his plots with clearly defined characters... He makes it riveting.
Mirror
A tense, thoughtful, absorbing read.
The Times
As usual Grisham is fantastically skilful at delineating the procedural ins and outs of the legal and business worlds in such a way that, as the reader, you feel rather clever yourself.
Daily Express
Try as you might to resist, it's hard to argue against Grisham being a great storyteller.
Dorset Echo
Reads both like an inspirational debut and a brilliant career masterpiece... Technically the book is a tour de force, the characters perfectly balanced and precisely drawn, the forward-thrusting chapters sculpted in size and rhythm... The Appeal is a blatant page turner but I guarantee you will hate reaching the end.
Sunday Express
A calm, clinical expose of how money has corrupted justice in some US states. Immaculately done.
Evening Standard
John Grisham is the biggest-selling author of legal thrillers. He comes up with exciting and enthralling plots, his writing is utterly compelling.
Guardian
A story that is told well and Mr Grisham keeps the pages flipping. Pefectly enjoyable read.
Law Society Gazette
The intricacies of how corrupt politicians help implement Trudeau's scheme drives the drama and it's a testament to Grisham's storytelling prowess that a novel about topics like US liability law and the ethics of campaign fundraising makes for an entertaining read. A gripping finale.
London Lite
Try as you might to resist, it's hard to argue against Grisham being a great storyteller.
Dorset Echo
Clever old Grisham. He is fantastically skilful. The characters are deftly drawn. There's nobody who does legal fiction better.
