The Summons

I read John Grisham‘s “The Summons” this week. He takes the reader back to Ford County, Mississippi — recall his first novel, “A Time to Kill.” Grisham writes characters in the South so well, without making them all ingrown fools… which may not seem so profound, particularly if you live here, but this is the first fictional book I’ve read in a while, so I’m accustomed to the tired Southern (and other) stereotypes of television.

DirecTV brings in some sharp pictures, but books paint much more vividly. I think I’ll read more often. Go check out “The Summons.”
