Fiction Insider: Great Books are Only Fiction!

Sunday Salon – The Appeal by John Grisham

appealsmJust the usual John Grisham novel, good characterization, small community, people suffering, and lawyers ranting.

Getting the verdict first was different, but I should have known, the title “The Appeal.”

I guess the first real surprise, thinking that a law firm would actually sacrifice everything to help a fellow citizen out!

In the small town of Bowmore, Mississippi, Mary Grace Payton of the law firm Payton & Payton knew everyone after all she had lived in Bowmore.
This story is the classic case of big business versus the little man on the street.

Not only in lawsuits, but in politics as well.

Will the money hungry Carl Trudeau, CEO of Krane Chemical cough up the $41 million awarded to the Payton’s client?

Will he settle out of court?

Who is Ron Fisk?

Who is Sheila McCarthy?

Find out some answers next week…
