Book Review- John Grisham�s The Runaway Jury

Nishant Mohanty

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="text-align: justify;">John Grisham‘s seventh novel chronicles a law suit against the tobacco industry set in a Biloxi, Mississippi, courtroom. Before his writing career started, as a lawyer in a single-man firm, Grisham frequently took civil cases, including product liability, although never one of the multimillion dollar magnitude nor the nationwide attention that he describes here. This novel is a thriller about two competing efforts to rig the jury‘s verdict: one from the evil tobacco industry, the other from a seemingly innocuous juror. As is typical for Grisham, the little guy wins this battle and ings about a huge defeat for Big Tobacco. Thus readers marvel at the intricate manoeuvres of the competing conspirators and laugh at the ways some manoeuvres work out.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span lang="EN-IN"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
