Completed The Chamber by John Grisham today after reading for 2 months.
The plot runs around the Cayhall family where the grandfather, Sam Cayhall was waiting for the Mississippi state to run it death sentence on him for the bombing of Jew family in the 1960's when the Klu Klax Klan was running wide across the state. A young and promising lawyer, Adam Hall, who turned out to be the long lost grandson, suddenly appeared and fought for Sam's release.
Sam was only the lookout person the in bombing event. There was a bombing expert name Rollie Wedge who sucessfully exterminate the other 2 accomplices when they tried to reveal his name in the courtroom. Sam fought hard not to name him to Adam during their uncountable number of pleas until the very last 10 minutes before the execution as to protect his family.
The reader's review:
The beginning chapters were really intriguing to read about the Klu Klax Klan in the 60's and how Adam Hall managed to persuade Sam Cayhall to let him represent him.
Middle chapters were a bit slow as the story rotates around on how to file the petition and how to get Sam to name the mysterious person in the bombing.
Final chapters were fast and page were turned faster than ever to know the final fate of Sam Cayhall.
Overall:
3.5 stars rating (out of 5 stars)
