Praise for The Appeal:


“Building a remarkable degree of suspense...Grisham delivers his savviest book in years. His extended vacation from hard–hitting fiction is over.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“Chilling and timeless.”—The Washington Post

“An intricately detailed, involving story...the ending may surprise you.”—People

“Stirring popular fiction that doubles as an important public–service announcement.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Packs a wallop...The timing, in the midst of all the presidential primaries, makes it all the more compelling.”–USA Today

“Fascinating...filled with deadly accurate characterizations by and author who knows both the law and politics from the inside.”–Los Angeles Times

“A clever story and thoughtful plot...Grisham confronts in stark relief the dangers of electing judges in an era of big–money politics.”—Seattle Times–Post Intelligencer
