Summary
Every jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him. In Biloxi, Mississippi, a landmark tobacco trial with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake begins routinely, then swerves mysteriously off course. The jury is behaving strangely, and at least one juror is convinced he's being watched. Soon they have to be sequestered. Then a tip from an anonymous young woman suggests she is able to predict the jurors' increasingly odd behaviour. Is the jury somehow being manipulated, or even controlled? If so, by whom? And, more importantly, why?

It was excellent
Funny courtroom story, lots of drama and humour. There was an extremely amusing scene in court, ah dang, can't spoil it.

Grisham at his best
A story from the glory days of John Grisham. Compelling, intriguing, and with characters you feel emotion for. The reading is perfect, beautifully placed, completely immerses you in the narrative.

Interesting idea
Standard Grisham fare and that's not meant in a derogatory way. Little man against big corporation(s) but I liked the story.
I wasn't keen on Nicholas, the main character but that was probably the intention as you don't really get to know the real person, rather a series of facades he adopts to play the game. Quite like all the stories about the individual jurors as this added depth to them.
Overall a neat tidy ending which wraps everything up albeit nothing unexpected. However, I may have read the book years ago hence not being surprised by anything.
Nice story to listen to as wont tax you too much but enjoyable nevertheless. And we always like seeing the bad boys get their comeuppance.

just what I expect from Grisham
What did you like most about The Runaway Jury?
The authenticity of the story
What other book might you compare The Runaway Jury to, and why?
Like most of his books, it tells a believable story and lets the reader get to know the characters.
What does Frank Muller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He brings the story to life - makes it real.. The reader is given an insight into what is required from a jury member.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Just enjoyed it.
Any additional comments?
Well worth listening to.

Mind Blowing
What an amazing story. Told in his own inimitable style. Even the difficult to understand legal bits were enthralling. I don’t know what JG thought of the film but listening to this book, years after reading it, confirmed to me that I really do prefer listening to watching.

Implausible and ludicrous
I rarely read Grisham and this book is a reminder as to why. Totally implausible and unbelievable. Plus absolutely none of the characters have any redeeming characteristics. Don’t waste your credit

A Very Different and Compelling Courtroom Drama
Just loved this book and I can see why it's become one of Grisham's most popular novels. At times it seems hard to sort the goodies from the baddies but overall it's a fascinating story-line with a satisfying ending. Great, great narration as well.
