A Time for Mercy

I found "A Time for Mercy" to be believable, detailed, exciting, engrossing, interesting, and satisfying as any of the other Grisham novels. I didn't think it dragged, as some have said, but I am a Grisham fan, and except for the Pelican Brief, found the remainder of his books intriguing and absorbing. Is it his very best book? Hard to say, but probably not. Then again, I'd like to stress I've never read a bad Grisham book, or even a mediocre one. Some of his books like "An Innocent Man" were departures from previous novels, as it was non-fiction. But A Time for Mercy is similar to his other legal thrillers. The pages turn quickly and one's interest in the final outcome doesn't wane.

I couldn't wait to finish this book not because I thought it was so good but because it just took forever to get to the end. At times I found the book tedious. Not up to Grisham's usual standards.

As always Grisham sucks me in with his story and the way he tells it. I haven't quite got to the end yet but if it's as great as his first Brigance book it'll be a fantastic one.
