I won’t commit the cardinal sin of revealing the plot-and will let Larry King’s assessment that “it has the best first 50 pages for pure storytelling impact that I have ever read” suffice for me.
Grisham, who has called himself “a Christian writing popular fiction…I’m not writing Christian literature,” has included overt conversions to Christ in previous novels- The Street Lawyer and The Chamber-but I found the story in The Testament more compelling.
Perhaps The Testament will follow suit, but if so, I suspect Hollywood will have a tougher time dealing with its content. Many of his previous titles have become blockbuster movies- The Pelican Brief, The Firm, and The Rainmaker immediately come to mind.
This is yet another in a long line of novels by Grisham, who has become a fixture at the top of the New York Times bestseller list.
