Review of 'A Time to Kill'

A Time to Kill by John Grisham

A young black girl is raped in small town Mississippi and her father takes revenge on the two white men that admit to the crime. Jack Brigance is assigned to defend the father in the trial which quickly becomes the focal point for civil protest and army occupation. A well written book with the end never really much in doubt. This book (especially the ending) raises a lot of questions, more than it answers. It is a difficult book to read with a lot of focus on the feelings of the various people involved which makes it a much more 'human' book than many of Grishom's other efforts. Definitely worth the read.

Rating: “Really good but I have some issues”
