About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
John Grisham's first and most shocking novel, adapted as a film starring Samuel L. Jackson and Matthew McConaughey
When Carl Lee Hailey guns down the violent racists who raped his ten-year-old daughter, the people of the small town of Clanton, Mississippi see it as justice done, and call for his acquittal.
But when extremists outside Clanton - including the KKK - hear that a black man has killed two white men, they invade the town, determined to destroy anything and anyone that opposes their sense of justice. A national media circus descends on Clanton.
As tensions mount, Hailey hires the inexperienced Jake Brigance to defend him. It's the kind of case that could make a young lawyer's career.
But it's also the kind of case that could get a young lawyer killed.
The original, epoch-defining Jake Brigance novel. Brigance returns in SYCAMORE ROW and A TIME FOR MERCY.
'A master at the art of deft characterisation and the skilful delivery of hair-raising crescendos' - Irish Independent
'John Grisham is the master of legal fiction' - Jodi Picoult

Good story, requires some effort to asimilate it
Nice book, although it can get a bit unclear having so many characters (most of them just side characters, appearing only once). The performance could have been better, to replace the confusion between characters, but all of them sounded the same. Also, is not so easy understandable for non native English speakers.

A Time to Cry
A wonderful book, the real type that will make you cry.
The lawyer that stood up for righteousness, The sheriff that is simply great.

Abridged!
Had no idea I was buying an abridged version. Have now bought the other version, which plays at 16 hours as compared to 3 hours or so, and am looking forward to that!
