Yes indeed, I love John Grisham. I can even watch the film version of his books, although, it makes me mad how they try to portray the book and made a mess of the film.
The Pelican Brief and the Firm are my favourites. I agree about the book A Painted House, usually, I would just buy any John Grisham book, just because he wrote it. I was very disappointed with A Painted House, but, hey, nobody can get it right all the time.

Yes, I do.
I know that there's a kind of 'haven't I read this before?' flavour to his novels, but they're an easy, entertaining read, and sometimes that's good, so I'm not crossing him off my library list.
I wouldn't recommend one called 'A Painted House' though, I was expecting a good predictable yarn, and this book turned out to be weirdly depressing. I didn't finish it.
A friend recommends 'Skipping Christmas', another, a little different than the usual, but nice.

Not me, there are so many better writers of legal thrillers now. Everyone seems to think he created the genre but he was just the first to make it realy popular. Eg. Scott Turow was around long before but generally recognised. Other excellent ones are Alex Margolin, Lisa Scottoline, Richard North Patterson, to name just the ones that spring to mind.
Interesting that most are men; in more general mysteries it's the women who're much better, in my opinion anyway!

I have always enjoyed his books, I read The Innocent Man a couple of months ago it was chilling. I didn't enjoy it as much as some of his other books, but everyone needs a change once in a while.

There are worse authors - trouble is his stories rarely have a twist at the end
