No “book-joy”

Revisado: 11-17-19

I have only come across very very few books which the movie was better. This one is on the fence. At it is not because the storylines are a bit different, it because the book was too long and droned on to unfold the story it did tell. I have wanted to read (and listen) to this book for many years and now that I have I was a little disappointed.

I really like Stephen King Novels. I own many of them, and although he is somewhat long winded, in this novel it was exasperating! I just could not take the long descriptions and fluff around some of the story. I had to tune off and come back or put the book down and get back to it later. At times was like someone grinding their teeth. It was nerve-wracking!

But the story was great. Learning the backstory to characters was interesting and I enjoyed this story told vs the story told in the movie. I just did not enjoy reading/listening this book. Narration was good. I like Campbell Scott’s voice. No annoying intonations or pauses, it was just getting through all those extra words that was what sucked the pleasure out of my book experience.

Performance killed the story

Although I enjoyed the story I could not get over the voice. In the end author tells us he picked the narrator, I wish had picked someone else. Her voice was grating on my nerves the whole time i listened. I wish someone else had narrated.

Not what I expected

Revisado: 05-28-15

The stories were of characters we have never met which makes the novel likable and not. I would have liked to have the stories be of the people we already know in Clanton from A Time to Kill but since the stories were enjoyable it's ok.

However, the Author should not read their own stories. Unfortunately, Mr Grisham is not an actor so all the people had the same voice. And his voice even though pleasant is monotonous which makes it hard to listen.

But overall the stories are good.
