I read the book during the summer n i found that it was a very nice story.John Grisham is a fantastic writter n i hoping that the film is as good asthe book.Well hope i see it soon.I plan on watching all the movies based on John Grisham books b/c he's like the best writter ever.:)
I haven't read the book yet, because the story doesn't seem that exciting. Hopefully I'll be able to view this one day.
