What do you think of John Grisham's "A Time to Kill"?

Question

Despite the racist themes that run throughout the book, I really liked it UNTIL I got to the end of the book. It leaves you hanging! I hate that. Like what happened with Jake and Carla, how did she take the house burning down, remember Jake was so concerned that once he told her she'd divorce him. And what about Ellen? Did she get better? Did she decide to stay in the South or go back up North? I would have liked to see her and Harry Rex get together. I just hated the ending. Does John Grisham end all his books this badly?

Answer 1

A lot of good authors end a book like that. John Grisham does not end all of his books that way though.

Another author to consider, that has great character development is Tess Gerrisen. Her books mainly focus on two characters and the story continues through many of her books.

Her books are medical thrillers, not legal thrillers. I started to read her books after I read most of Grisham's.

Answer 2

I thought that it was a great book,

and it had me sobbing in the first

eight pages :) the ending sort of did

leave you hanging, but it was still

a great ending, in my opinion.

The other books don't end as abrupt

as this one, but some do, haha :)
