This is a collection of 7 short stories, all of them good. A couple are mildly humorous, but mostly they are poignant and sad in their own ways. All of the characters are from Ford County, Mississippi. Some of them are likable, and some of them aren't. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the stories. The last one, particularly, was touching and sad. If you like short stories, this is a good one to read. ( )
The intermittent bursts of genuine thought and originality in “Ford County” show us how good [Grisham] might be if he weren’t so content to coast. Full of strong characters, simple but resonant plotlines, and charming Southern accents, this collection is solid throughout; though his literary aspirations may seem quaint, Grisham succeeds admirably in his crowd-pleasing craft while avoiding pat endings or oversimplifying (perhaps best exemplified in ""Michael's Room,"" which finds a lawyer facing the consequences of successfully defending a doctor against a malpractice suit). Mr. Grisham can give his story an unexpected twist without need of a heavy hand. His novels sometimes moralize; these short stories don’t need to because they transform their agendas into pure, vigorous plot. ContémPrêmiosDistinctions
John Grisham returns to Ford County, Mississippi, the setting of his immensely popular first novel, "A Time to Kill," with this wholly surprising collection of stories. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
