Informació de l'obraThe Chamber de John Grisham (1994)
   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I don't know how I missed this book of his. Very good. All aspects of the death penalty and death row. Also means of being put to death and the pros and cons..... (  ) wincheryl | Jun 20, 2022 |  Fiction  hpryor | Aug 8, 2021 | After reading a couple of chapters, I decided the subject matter did not interest me enough to spend time in the world of the KKK and legal maneuvering. The actual writing is par for the course for Grisham: steady workmanship, some nice rhetoric occasionally, and an important discussion of personal relationships in a fraught world. (  ) librisissimo | Jan 19, 2021 | Un livre étrangement poignant. ( ) Nikoz | Nov 23, 2020 | This book was a complete disappointment. Virtually nothing happens after the prologue. I kept waiting for the main character, a lawyer who is the grandson of a convicted murderer, to uncover some evidence to mitigate his grandfather's guilt. He is hired to defend his grandfather in appeals of the conviction. He repeatedly files appeals, none of which are granted. He does nothing else to help his grandfather. The more culpable character in the murders appears repeatedly, but nothing is done with him. This book is a total waste of time.

Five CDs, 6 hrs.Performance by Michael BeckIn the corridors of Chicago's top law firm: Twenty-six-year-old Adam Hall stands on the brink of a brilliant legal career. Now he is risking it all for a death-row killer and an impossible case. Maximum Security Unit, Mississippi State Prison: Sam Cayhall is a former Klansman and unrepentant racist now facing the death penalty for a fatal bombing in 1967. He has run out of chances -- except for one: the young, liberal Chicago lawyer who just happens to be his grandson. While the executioners prepare the gas chamber, while the protesters gather and the TV cameras wait, Adam has only days, hours, minutes to save his client. For between the two men is a chasm of shame, family lies, and secrets -- including the one secret that could save Sam Cayhall's life...or cost Adam his. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
