The book that I read from the first semester is “A time to kill” by John Grisham a 1988 novel, the genre of the novel is Fiction, Mystery, Legal thriller, Legal Story and has a total of 515 pages. It is about crime and racism. The story of the book begins when two men named Billy Ray Cobb and Pete Willard raped a ten-year-old black girl Tonya Hailey, they brutally tortured her and throw her off into the bridge but luckily she survived, she suffered a lot of injuries around her body. Sheriff Ozzie Walls, the only black sheriff in their town arrested the two suspects with his sidekick. The suspect, and the victim faced a trial about their issue, and days later as Cobb the suspect leaves the courtroom , Carl Lee Hailey, Tonya’s father, went to janitor’s closet and kills the suspect using an illegally obtained M-16 rifle. Thirty-two-year-old Jake Brigance, a white lawyer rehearsing out of a performance firm in the community of Clanton, to speak to Carl Lee. Early on, Jake and his family starts getting threatening phone calls from white network individuals who would prefer not to see Carl Lee cleared. The dangers in the long run grow into hatred. Jake sends his significant other and girl away to remain with family until the finishes. Critics like A Time to Kill. Grisham specialized in matters for a long time, and the legit scenes demonstrate realness and accuracy with respect to the manner in which legal counselors experience a criminal preliminary. The tale was later adjusted into a significant film, which additionally got positive surveys.
I suggest reading this book, because at the beginning of the book it already shows the thrill and some issues of the story which interest me and gives me preference reading the whole story.
A Time to Kill seems like a great novel, and I would like to read it because I'm sure the message in the book is encouraging. However, I don't think I'll be able to finish it if I was to read it because of the horrific scenes of the book. Also, excellent summary as you certainly portrayed the legal thriller and mystery genre of the book with only a few sentences.
