John Grisham Opens Up About The Inspiration Behind His Writing

[@gwenniegirl50]

He's my favorite author. I love the genre. I have a background in law having worked as a paralegal. I love every facet of what is covered in the stories and how John goes about telling the story.

Fabulous author! I've been a big fan of Grisham since the beginning.

I love John Grishams books! He is simply amazing!!! Thank you for keeping us entertained JG!

[@ellencoelho16]

My favorite author! I’ve read all his books and seen all the books that have been made into movies!

I love this Author!!!

[@jkstubbington]

Absolutely great piece! Loved learning about Mr. Grisham…it was wonderful to know the man and story behind the name we are all familiar with. Thank you!

[@j.alex74]

He tells master pieces.

"It's not about money." I love that he is using his influence to help innocent people.

[@j.alex74]

I like John Grisham´s writing style.

[@patrickc3419]

Grisham, Louis L’Amour, & John Steinbeck are my three favorite authors. Just bought his book “Sooley” today. Looking forward to starting it.

[@sergiv5613]

For me my top 3 authors are : Stephen King, John Grisham, and Micheal Crichton, in that order. I'm reading "Camino Winds", one of John Grisham's newer books, and it's shaping up to be one of my favorites; I highly recommend it.

[@patrickc3419]

@@sergiv5613 I would read it! I usually alternate between fiction and nonfiction books.

[@joannequina5958]

My favorite author......I don't want to put his books down and when I finish his latest book, it's not soon enough when his next book is released!

[@j.alex74]

I have not a favoured book. They are all from begining to the end almost real.

[@gardensofthegods]

When I read his books I tried to read as much as possible in one sitting and drop whatever else I was going to be doing because I don't want any interruptions

[@baseball3106]

Are his signed books good?

[@gumpymcbarfbag3884]

Just finished a time for mercy, absolute masterpiece.

[@Sreng444]

Read a book in early 90s.. think it was The Chamber? I only remember it was good and haven’t read one till now and ❤️it..He is an inspiration!!

[@sanaka123]

Love his writing, Ford county novels are wonderful

[@forgeustiss6667]

I really liked his books even before I became a lawyer. They are very realistic in their law aspects - other than the courtroom scenes, which are overly dramatic (understandably).

[@gardensofthegods]

Yes he teaches ... he educates the public through his writings

[@jeanetteschock4744]

I can't remember the name of the book he wrote about his work with the innocence project but it one of my favorites

[@km-bo3zx]

I think his non legal novels are overlooked and underrated.

Recommend Camino Island first, then Camino Winds. Camino Ghost I understand comes out in June 2024.

[@purposebehindthepen]

One of my favorite male authors.

I LOVE THIS MAN, I swear ill work hard to get rich so i could get his autograph before i die

[@YogaBlissDance]

Kudo's to him, I never respected him till I watched this video, his ideals and the Innocence Project did that.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I definitely need to read more of his books 📚📖

[@j.alex74]

He is definitily a interesting writer.

His books need patience and will never get so quick boring.

[@baseball3106]

I have 35 of his signed books. I actually have over 90 but they are the same 35 books times 3 because one set went to my mom and the other 2 sets went to my aunt.

[@lawtalkwithluigi8897]

I’m a huge fan of the movies. He’s awesome.

[@nikkijubilant]

The Guardians is an amazing book,

[@gardensofthegods]

I remember watching this movie and I could barely get through it because how awful it was what they did to the poor little girl . When I was 5 I was sexually abused by a 69-year-old man who lived around the corner and we ended up in the Magistrates Court for a hearing on a very hot summer day and I remember slices of the Sun the glaring ugly sunlight coming in and I never saw so much dust just flying around in that sliver and I kept looking at it because it was easier to do that and see how playful it was rather than while I was sitting next to the judge on the stand explaining what happened and seeing the faces of all my relatives and neighbors looking so strangely at me . The worst part where my parents in the front row and I have no idea to this day what I said but my father looked like he was nauseous put his head down and was rubbing as far ahead while my mother stood up screaming and crying and pounding her fist yelling out " oh my God , oh my God ! " . How in the world did we ever lose that case ? ... HOW !?! Years later I asked a good friend of mine who I grew up with who at the time of my questioning was the assistant DA . I said I need to look at the transcripts and he asked if we won the case and I said no . Michael sounded so sad when he said if it's been over 17 years the transcripts are gone ... they've been destroyed . In the years after that and especially more recently I have pieced together that yet once again politics plays a part in destroying people's lives ... even little girls' lives . Through words from the grapevine and just piecing together a little bit here and there I was able to deduce that the disgusting perpetrator named Angelo was connected to a family in the local power structure in my hometown . Also as I went into my young adult years it was very obvious that early on the mob had a stronghold in Clifton Heights Pennsylvania back then and the early 1960s and probably still does . I know I will have answers ... I know this . In the meantime I don't know if the laws are still the same with respect to minors being on the witness stand but I can see of no reason court documents and transcripts ... especially the words of a minor and most importantly a young child should never ever be removed especially where trauma to the child is involved . In a half year I will be 65 and still have no answers 60 years later as to what I said and why my mother was screaming and going crazy . I do know that for years many after the hearing neighbors would put their heads close together and stare at me while whispering . I was too naive to know what was going on and always thought it was because we came from the second poorest family in the parish . About 19 years ago my therapist said my mind protects me from being able to relive all the events because he said it is so traumatic we don't know what it would do to me . ... every now and then over the years I will have this weird feeling like I'm going to blackout and all I can see is what looks like a white round donut in front of my eyes as if somebody is pressing my eyeballs in actually quite hard and then I lose my balance and have to grab onto whatever is around because I start to collapse and I get real bad ringing in my ears . I was starting to remember something differently more and more recently and especially in the middle of the night and I realized things are going so well for me right now why traumatize myself . I'll deal with it later

[@Justlooney]

The opening chapter of the novel is gut wrenching 😢

I remember the client doing better at the box office than the Pelican brief. Anyone else?

. It's the best pace is the firm but it's a good story

The reason I ask is I really like the idea on that show about that lípidos

This video makes it sound like a Pelican brief was as good as either the one before it or after it. It's better. And doesn't get the recognition that the chamber deserve

[@AvdheshTondak]

Is it just me or John Grisham sounds like Robert De Niro?

Some of the books endings could be better

You guys think Ariel will make a baby with me until we can get Angel back? To tell you both over more or less.

So you are saying that despite the fact that you dont like the book, you still read it? That's torture, don't you think?
