The book The Runaway Jury by John Grisham I would recommend to those who enjoy civil court cases. Honestly, I did not really care for it because civil court cases bore me if they do not have any exciting twists or shocking revelations. To me, this book did not have any exciting or shocking twists; I could predict just about anything that was going to happen. This is either because I read too many thrillers or it was just a little dull and a lot ordinary. Still, for people that enjoy civil court cases, I would recommend this because that is exactly what this is, a trial on paper. If I were to have written this book, I would have changed several things. There would be at least three shocking twists in the plot and someone would be put in great peril. also, there would be less coverage of the trial, and it would be more oriented on the jurors’ viewpoints. Also, instead of having the trial basically just copied onto paper, it would be seen through each of the jurors’ eyes with their commentary on what is happening because the public does not normally know each of the juror’s thoughts and opinions on the trial and it would be interesting to find out. Another thing I would change, is that instead of having the majority of the book centered around the trial, I would center it around each one of the jury’s personal lives in order to get better insight as to why they would vote for the verdict they did, and it would make it easier to have surprising revelations if it was more focused on the personal and not the public. These are a few things I would change about The Runaway Jury, if I had written it. Although, for those who enjoy civil court trials, I would recommend this testing trial of my patience.
