A Time to Kill by John Grisham Book Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The master of the legal thriller probes the savage depths of racial violence in this searing courtroom drama featuring the beloved Jake Brigance.

“John Grisham may well be the best American storyteller writing today.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

The life of a ten-year-old black girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless white men. The mostly white town of Clanton in Ford County, Mississippi, reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime—until the girl’s father acquires an assault rifle and takes justice into his own hands.

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

Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

A time to kill. A very good book I wish it was longer.

Simply the Best. This is the first book I ever read from Grisham and it just made me become one of his biggest fans, I just can't stop reading his book one after the other just as they are realeaed. This is a great book it's very entertaining and has a lot of things to value and to think about it because it shows glimpses of how the segregation was in the mid 1900's. I hope you all enjoy it as I did.

John Grisham. As of right now I haven't had the opportunity to read any of Mr Grisham books within the last year or so because of a lot of tragedies in my life. But him and James Patterson are my favorite authors so I have no doubt that these books will be just as good and inviting as everything else they have written. Can't wait to get caught up. Respectfully Yours, Mary

A Time To Emote. Hands down, this is by far, Mr. Grisham's best book and because he had enough clout by the time the movie was made, most unusually, it was as close to being honest and true to the book as well it should have been. Many times, an author's first novel was an abominable failure at sales. Grisham one stated that of the 5,000 books printed, only five copies sold, mostly to the bookstore owners in Mississippi he had begged to display his books. All the unsold books were returned to Dell/Random House and destroyed. Imagine the value of those autographed first editions!!! Everyone should read this book, even if not a John Grisham. It's spellbinding, emotive, evocative and last but not least, a damned good read. In the end, John Grisham became the winner!!

Perfect title. Excellent read!

A time to kill. Excellent. Every time I read it I find it more and more enthralling. So emotional and realistically described it takes you to a place where you can actually see the case happening before you and feel the reality of what it would be like to actually witness in real life. Impeccably written. I applaud John Grisham.

A Time to Kill. Suspense all the way through. Surprise throughout the book.

Awesome read. Loved it

A Time to Kill. This was an ABSOLUTE page turner. It did NOT disappoint

Amazing. I absolutely loved reading this book!!! I had read it back in high school, but never got to the end. Reading it again as an adult was so enjoyable! I would read it again and again and again! Absolutely top 5 favorite books!

Amazing. Just amazing.. My professor recommended this book. Said it was a good read and I am happy I made the choice of buying it. The first book I have read for fun in years and I enjoyed every page of it.

One of the best!. I'm a huge Grisham fan and this book made me see what racism is truly like. To think that this stuff happens in real life this day and age is surreal. Movie was also real good!

Great read. Great read! Awesome suspenseful and thrilling. Make sure you read before the movie, as always the book is better but both are a must!

Excellent. Sad to say they went through so much in the Deep South, The hatred for African Americans was astronomical. It broke my heart in many ways reading this book but it was so good I could not stop reading ! I would’ve done the same thing Carl Lee did and would’ve welcomed the circumstances no matter what! Thankful he had a lawyer like Jake awesome character ! Great Read, a great purchase! Would definitely read over and over!

Too long. Takes way too long to read. Does not excite me at all past the third chapter.

Exciting. Another great story from Grisham. I was glued to the book until the very end. The suspense was intense.

Excellent Read. I loved the suspense involved in this book, John Grisham is a wonderful writer! Mississippi is one of the last states to look at Black people as less than White’s and Grisham’s book focuses on this concept, but you are able to see different. This is a wonderful book, and the movie was really great too, it touched on the whole concept of the book!

Great to read Grisham’s first. I’m a late arrival to Grisham’s literature but so happy I’ve picked it up. Fun to go back to his very first book and it’s honestly a shock this didn’t have immediate success. For a legal thriller, it asks a simple question that leads to complex answers. Parts made my jaw drop and other parts made me laugh out loud. Great read!

Great read!. Wow! What a story!

greatest ever. this was the first John Grisham book I ever read and it's by far my favorite. intense from start to finish. great author.

A Time To Kill. A must read. Follow the stories till the end, it won’t disappoint. It’s definetely worth the time.

A time to kill. Great novel, depicting the racism and injustices that black people have lived through.

None better. This book is the one that got me hooked on reading novels.

A Time To Kill. I am glad I found this Novel. It was an excellent read! It kept me wanting more and more, from the office to the train, I couldn't get enough. Jake Brigance was by far the best character In this book with Lucian. I am impressed with the author. Good job!
