I just looked it up on amazon and it sounds really interesting! Please let me know how you like it.

I'm through with all of the Vince Flynn books. I still have a couple more Baldacci's and I'm reading Grisham's 1st book "a time to kill"

I like to start at the beginning and read them all in order

I only got a few pages in but I'm putting The Book of Salt aside. It just wasn't working for me. Probably because my copy of Just Kids (by Patti Smith) should arrive tomorrow and the way you've all been raving about it, well, my mouth is watering.

Winter Prey by John Sandford. Pretty good so far. The description of a Wisconsin winter is bone chilling.

I know that many people criticize Grisham for his writing style, but I am always enthralled with the tales he weaves - never hokie or boring. Enjoy this great read, aardvarks!

A Time To Kill is my favorite Grisham book. Enjoy.
