	DVD: The Last Juror $1.68 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The Last Juror returns Grisham to the courtroom whеrе he made his name, but those who enjoyed the warm sentiment оf his recent novels (Bleachers, A Раintеd House) will still find much to lоvе here.
		I started reading The Last Juror knowing оnlу that it was the latest Grisham book and with that I had certain assumptions of what the book would be.
		With The Last Juror, he has рrоvеn his ability to write compelling human drаmа that doesn't rely upon simple chills and thrills to make the rеаdеr turn the pages.

	The Last Juror in Today’s Press-Public Relations Era - The Bluffton News-Banner
		A juror is not a legislator, not a council member or Congress member, chosen to make open public decisions and open public discussions and stand responsible for them.
		If jurors were like council members or commissioners or legislators, etc., they should expect that function of their duties would be to address concerns and explain their actions and do it well in a responsibility to those they represent.
		Yet the principle was upheld that jurors swore to decide the case solely on what was presented in court and nothing else.

		Unlike in the U.S., where jurors routinely comment at length on their deliberations at the end of trials, Canadian law prohibits jury members from ever disclosing any of their closed-door discussions.
		According to one media report, a female juror "flashed a big smile" at Ellard when she was picked to sit on the jury.
		We don't know whether she was the so-called rogue juror that resulted in the 11-1 standoff in the jury room and a mistrial.

	The Last Juror Book at Shop Ireland
		When The King of Torts came out last year I was pleased to see Grisham back at his best.
		It starts of at a great pace but the book begins to fade round the middle and it makes the final burst in the last section but for me it was just a bit to late to make a difference.
		It's about the hardships of a community sticking together through thick and thin, when events threaten to shatter their world - from small businesses being closed due to a new out-of-town shopping centre being built, to corruption in the judicial system, and a murder that shocked the lives of them all.

	CriticWeb::Archive - The Last Juror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The basic plot of The Last Juror follows the fortunes of a young man called Willie Traynor, and his early life as a newspaper editor.
		It proves to be a climactic event in the book, but is nothing compared to the aftermath, when the killer is granted parole and seems to be acting on his threat to kill all of the jurors who convicted him.
		In the middle of the book there was a nice lull that captured the slow pace of life in Ford County very well — it’s obvious that Grisham has a certain way with words here, and it’s nice to see him moving away from his typecast ‘courtroom thriller’ mould.

	berniE-zine Book Reviews: The Last Juror, by John Grisham
		The brutal rape and murder of a single mother in front of her two children pulls the town together against the defendant, Danny Padgitt, and his powerful family, which has used its great wealth to buy friends in high places: sheriffs, senators, and even witnesses.
		Despite Padgitt's heated outburst "Convict me and I'll get every goddamned one of you," the jury sentences him to life, not realizing that "life" will only mean nine years of incarceration in a comfortable prison for the murderer.
		The story is narrated by Willie Traynor, a 23-year-old college dropout whose wealthy aunt buys him the town's only newspaper, the weekly Ford County Times, which he uses to address controversial issues like segregation, bigotry, corruption, and the Vietnam war, all while turning the paper into a productive, integral part of the community.

	The Rugged Elegance World Marketplace \| Books : The Last Juror
		The Last Juror is tedious, slow-paced, and - not like Grisham - predictable.
		The reason I am giving it 3 stars and not a lower rating is that, despite all, Grisham is a gifted writer and creates lively characters who are easy to sympathise with, and there is the occasional spark of humor.
		The Last Juror by John Grisham is not his typical legal thriller, but is more a coming of age story of a young reporter, Willie Traynor and the southern town he comes to call his home.

		Partly because I needed a book on tape and his was the most promising of the ones on the shelf in the bookstore that I hadn’t already read.
		With The Last Juror, he melds his courtroom writing – the trial of a rapist-murderer in a small Mississippi town in the early 1970s – with the kind of story he told in his The Painted House.
		While the editor is well drawn as a character, Grisham is rather more false with the fl matriarch who is the “last juror” of the title.

		I would hesitate to compare this to such literary giants as "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Huckleberry Finn," the major theme in "The Last Juror" is similar to that found in both the aforementioned novels, that of racial tolerance and the transendance of boundaries.
		From the title I assumed that it was about a trial and about a juror for that matter, in a similar vein to "The Runaway Jury," but that is not really the case even though the cove photograph certain reinforces the idea.
		There is a juror and there is a trial, but there are parts of a larger tapestry told by the book's narrator.

		In The Last Juror, numerous ethical challenges await the young editor whose voice tells the story.
		The Juror is presented through the eyes of the local newspaper editor.

		Like many of John Grisham's better books, The Last Juror is at its best when evoking the past--Mississippi in the early 1970s--and less effective when constructing the bait-and-switch plotting with which he makes a pointed argument about the law.
		Padgitt threatens the jury and when, once he is out, the jurors who heard his case start being executed, conclusions are there to be jumped to...
		While the title may suggest this is one of Grisham's legal thrillers this is not the case although the main plot line centres around a murder trial where the accused says he will have his revenge on the Jury when he is found guilty.

		If anything, "The Last Juror" is the sort of novel one would expect to read in a 20th Century literature class.
		But, when the jurors start to fall, you will believe that Danny Padgitt is indeed guilty of fulfilling his promise...but then Grisham wants you to believe it, which makes the ending all the more impactful.
		But "The Last Juror" really is about changing times, even if the changes come too late in the estimation of some.

		"The Last Juror," set in the 1970s, follows Willie Traynor, a young reporter who buys a struggling newspaper and thinks it will be easy running a weekly in a sleepy town.
		Danny Padgitt, a member of a wealthy family, is accused of brutally raping and murdering a woman in front of her two young children.
		The case is a slam-dunk - the victim's last words were, "It was Danny Padgitt" - and the Ford County Times rivets the town with the trial's lurid details.

		The Last Juror marks a return to John Grisham's tried and true courtroom drama formula.
		After taking the stand in his own defense, the accused murderer, Danny Padgitt turns to the assembled jurors and yells:, " You convict me, and I'll kill every damned one of you!" His words turn out to be prophetic when he's released from jail and jurors start dying.
		Of course, it wouldn't be a Grisham novel if things were as cut and dried as they seem.
