Mine is The Rainmaker. It was very well-written such that it was difficult to put the book down because the plot is very interesting. Unfortunately, the movie version was disappointing. It lacked most of the highlights and drama that the book has. The Grisham book turned movie that I think was good enough though was A Time to Kill. The actors were pretty great and the story was touching as well.

Most movie versions aren't nearly as good as the book. I just finished "An Innocent Man", and while it was informative, I prefer his fiction over fact. It looks like he has written a ton of books.

I haven't either, although my favorite was The Client. That was the only one I saw as a movie. It was ok, but I liked the book better.

I like time to kill. both the book and the movie. The characters were well defined in their role. It depicts the justice system which sometimes needed to be reminded of their role and impartiality.

My goodness! Great Discussion! I loved A time to Kill. Some of my other faves are A painted House and Pelican Brief. Speaking of his books being made into movies, did you see Runaway Jury?? Ughh!!
