Advantages: An entertaining read, Deals well with the racial issues Disadvantages: If your not a fan of Grisham you probably wont enjoy it
The next novel in my John Grisham series is one of the best books I?ve read, the chamber. He has become one of those authors that people either love or hate, personally as I?m sure you?ve been able to tell I love his work, well most of it. I can?t really say I?m a big fan of one of his latest. and although he features heavily in my current book selection, I have started to branch out a little bit.
Grisham, a former lawyer has made a very good living out of writing novels, since his debut effort a time to kill. Despite his move away from practising law he writes his books on the subject he is familiar with keeping a law theme within almost all of his works to date.

Very fine cd. D'Indy's String Sextet may be a bit pale as a composition, but the Violin Sonata is a wonderful work that is unjustly neglected. As far as I know this is the only recording ever made, apart from an old one by Henri Temianka and Doris Stevenson.
