Atleast from my perspective I guess! Had fun till the last paragraph ended. A Time to Kill was a time worthily spent. Everything was just perfect - multi-dimensional characters, fluid narration. It appeared as though the author wrote this novel in nonchalant times. JG's first novel at that. Followed up with the movie edition to compare the renditions of the courthouse scenes on my mind to the ones portrayed by the celluloid. I was close enough. I didn't like some of the improvisations done on the picture though. Matt McConnaghey (I hope I spelled his name right!) was the picture-perfect Mr. Jake Brigance. I was a little disappointed (distressed even if you may) at the casting of Ellen Roark. Not that I have anything against Sandra Bullock but one would have hoped she appeared (atleast in her first scene) the way Grisham tastefully described in his book - without her upper body inner garments. Oh well!
Next I am onto a less taxing novel by Chetan Bhagat - Three Mistakes of My Life. I say that because of his casual prose with words laced that only an Indian can understand. I am just on the second chapter and already loving it.
Hope to write here soon.
