Chronicle Supposing Books The Last Juror

In 1970, one of Mississippi s more colorful weekly newspapers, The Ford County Times, went bankrupt. To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a 23-year-old college dropout, named Willie Traynor. The future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. Willie Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his newspaper began to prosper.

The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courthouse in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial came to a startling and dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison.

But in Mississippi in 1970, life didn't necessarily mean life, and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.

Rate Based On Books The Last Juror

Wow, I am shocked at the amount of people who actually liked this book. Every two years or so I get the urge to read a Grisham novel in the hopes that it will be as good as his early work, but the last three books I've read have been a big disappointment (The Last Juror, The Broker and The King of Torts)It's fine if Grisham wants to write something different than a legal thriller, but I wish his publishers didn't advertise this book as if it was. I really didn't want to read a book about small

One of Grisham's best I'd say. The author capitalized on what he does best, that's the legal part, then added a lot of heart to it.  It combines the thrill and drama of the scenes in the courtroom with the heart and soul and lives of its many colorful characters.The story spans a decade, the 70's, a period of transformation and awakening, especially in the deep south.  It talks about taking risks, commitment, growing up.  It demonstrates the power of the written word.  It relates how true

Drags a bit in the middle

Once again I've found myself in Clanton Mississippi. A fictional town that John Grisham has written about in several books, including his first book, A Time to Kill. The Last Juror takes place in Clanton, Mississipi, during the 1970's. Instead of Grisham's usual lawyer story, the main character is Willie Traynor, a reporter for the local newspaper.The Times is a typical weekly newspaper that reports all the goings on in the small southern town. From the local crime to high school sports to the

Endearing read! dramatic storyline of unfolding in the stew of racial prejudices,economic disparity and corruption in a small community concerning a case...good from start to finish and it's well written (paperback!)

Not really a courtroom drama or legal thriller; instead this novel focuses on the media in a small town in Mississippi. Willie Traynor takes over the local newspaper in Clanton, Mississippi. The previous owner had apparently gone mad and was basically filling his pages with nothing but obituaries. The residents had grown used to this and adapted to it to the extent that they wanted nothing more than for their personal obituary to feature prominently. Traynor slowly sets about changing the

My mom recommended I read this a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. I found my hardcover copy yesterday after cleaning, and was compelled to leave this review!
