Book review A Time to Kill by John Grisham

Saturday, March 05, 1994


Note from a publisher
John Grisham probes the savage depths of racial violence...as he delivers a compelling tale of uncertain justice in a small southern town...Clanton, Mississippi.

The life of a ten-year-old girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless young man. The mostly white town reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime. Until her black father acquires an assault rifle -- and takes justice into his own outraged hands.

For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as young defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client's life...and then his own...

Review from me, a reader
Ini buku ke tiga yang saya baca dari John Grisham. Isinya bagus dan menegangkan, karena menceritakan masalah racial issue di Mississippi. Isinya hampir seperti kisah nyata, karena memang ada masalah ini tahun 50-an.
Review **** (4 stars out of 5)
