The Appeal454 reviews
John Grisham

Doubleday, 2008

A rebuttal to the 1 and 2 stars:

Grisham a 1 or 2 star author - even Charlie Brown could do better than that on this book. I don't understand the very low reviews? Are you paying attention to the social issues included in this book? I grant you this is not his best book and not a 5 Star... but 1 and 2 stars is WAY off. As I ...

Redemption

+ Story of redemption - not a "whodunnit".
+ Make New Memories with Pelecanos

The streets and sounds of the nation's Capitol always play a central role in a Pelecanos novel and "Turnaround" is no exception. The plot covers three decades in the lives of six men, three white and the others black. In 1972, they were teenagers living in separate worlds but one event joined ...

REALLY SCARY

+ Awsome book!!! but not for everyday Patterson fans

I found this to be be one scary book. I almost finished it last night. I couldn't though because it was dark. I am a huge fan of Koontz and this read is truly in competition with Koontz's most terrifying. I was sorry to see some of the not so great reviews because I loved the storyline, cast ...

Short Book, Great Mystery

The book cover caught my eye first: a cloud of smoke obscuring the face of a young man. Then, the author's name. By now most avid fiction readers are aware that Benjamin Black is the pseudonym for John Banville, a respected and prize-winning author. I enjoyed Christine Falls, so some weeks ...
