The Resource Grisham, John

Description: Although he established his reputation with fast-paced David-versus-Goliath legal thrillers, John Grisham's recent work includes nonfiction and short stories and displays a distinctly darker outlook when writing about the law. His non-legal novels address coming-of-age issues and are more intimate and heartening. Issue-oriented storylines drive all his cinematic tales filled with engaging, sympathetic characters, dangerous secrets, and relentless pacing. His earlier legal thrillers are less provocative; more recent titles explore political and legal issues without Hollywood endings. Grisham has also written a legal thriller series for older kids. Start with: The Appeal (Fiction) (Adult); The Innocent Man (Nonfiction)
