		Grisham writes here with a sensitivity and sense of time and place which have not always been his most obvious virtues--it is a remarkable book.

		John Grisham's novels have all been so systematically successful that it is easy to forget he is just one man toiling away silently with a pen, experimenting and improving with each book.
		While not as gifted a prose stylist as Scott Turow, Grisham is among the best plotters in the thriller business, and he infuses his books with a moral valence and creative vision that set them apart from their peers.
		Grisham should also find another type of end for his books because they are becoming too predictable.

	Bleachers, The King of Tort by John Grisham - reviews
		Grisham's writing style really makes us feel like we were a part of Messina Spartan football during the "glory days." When he writes about moments in games past, it is so detailed and descriptive that the reader is able to get a clear picture of the circumstances and of the events that took place.
		As far as John Grisham's writing is concerned, I do not feel that Bleachers is one of his better works.

		John Grisham's portrayal of international conniving, espionage, conspiracies, betrayal, corruption in government, mystery, suspense, murder and sex are the ingredients that put this book amongst his best.
		Accompanying John Grisham's disclaimer quoted at the beginning of this review was his admission that he loves everything Italian.
		I respect the bulk of Grisham's work, enjoy political thrillers with dirty undercurrents and can accept the concept of a book that deals with the details of giving a man a new identity to keep him safe from the long hand of treachery.
