Someone on YouTube is wanting me to do a buddy read of John Grisham's The Street Lawyer. Anyone read it? I have a paperback copy on my dresser with my Grisham books but I'm feeling iffy about it. Frank, have you read it?
@osnafrank Yap and i liked it.
He (Grisham) captures the life of the homeless and the impoverished. Itis written in first-person perspective and the main character is very likeable

Thanks. I started it last night and I think it's going to be a fast-paced read.

Thanks. I started it last night and I think it's going to be a fast-paced read. I accidentally contradicted myself in my posts. I think I might've started The Street Lawyer and didn't finish it, but I could be confusing it with a different book because it was a long time ago. If you and osnafrank both give it a thumbs up, I'll have to give it another try someday.

How much of The Street Lawyer have you read so far doccreed ? I read the first three chapters this morning and am enjoying it. Hope I actually finish it, since that seems to be a big problem for me lately.

I'm doing a buddy read with a lady on YouTube and I emailed her just this morning sharing what I like and dislike about the book so far. When you get further into the book I will tell you what I mean. It's very fast paced, which is a plus. Mordecai Green is my favorite character in the book.

On chapter five now and yes, it is very fast paced. Will let you know where I'm at in a few days.

During the last 2 weeks i finished: "The Brethren" by John Grisham. The ending was..meehh. Not his best book but funny sometimes.
The Thruth Factory" by Cody MCFadyen. Same here, not his best. Sometimes i felt like reading a psycholigst report, very long winded. I have skipped a lot of pages.
"Roadside Crosses" by Jeffery Deaver. Great Topic (cyber bullying)and how it and the internet can affect peoples life. Was a fun read.
Still reading "Storm of the Century" and Perry Rhodan

I read Roadside Crosses several years ago, but remember that I liked it. I've read most of Deaver's books and particularly enjoy the Lincoln Rhyme novels.

Reading "Trigger Warning" by Neil Gaiman- 24 short stories. Excellent thus far.

Looking through the list, I think it was The Cold Moon that I really liked too. It introduces the Kathryn Dance character. I'm guessing you read The Burning Wire - that one wasn't a favorite.

The Movie "Bone collector" was really good,angelina Jolie isn't a good actor though (But that's a topic for another Thread)
Yor are right, it was "Burning wire"

About 160 pages into MINE. Wish I could read all night long and not sleep until I finish. Haven't been this engrossed in a book since the first time I read Under the Dome. Although Kelly Braffet's books were almost that gripping, especially the first one I read, Last Seen Leaving. Read that one in a day. I don't think any of her novels took me more than a couple days to read. Thank God for wonderful books and their authors!

Finished MINE by McCammon. Insanity, violence, love, delusion, terror. What a ride!
Going to start One Door Away from Heaven by Dean Koontz.
