The Appeal by John Grisham

The Appeal by John Grisham is rather disappointing.

I was looking forward to the courtroom scene, but The Appeal by John Grisham was not a book about lawyers and courtroom. The Appeal is about politics. The Appeal is about a rich man selecting a candidate and buying for him the political office of Supreme Court justice.

I like books with a good ending. The Appeal by John Grisham disappoints in this sense. The Appeal is not about upholding justice. The Appeal shows that a rich man can gain the support of the government and Supreme Court Judges.

I think John Grisham made use of The Appeal to show his displeasure of judicial system in Mississippi. The Supreme Court Judges should not be voted into office. They should be appointed.

The fact that those judges need the financial support to run for office means that they will have a conflict of interest. They cannot be partial since they have to support the people who give them money for campaign.

It is a disgrace to have current Judges running about to gain support. It is a disgrace to have Supreme Court Justice advertising in the TV to ask people to vote for them. They should be above begging for votes.

Of all the books by John Grisham, The Appeal is a book that really disappoints. I felt that A Time to Kill is still the best of all his books.

The Appeal is a thought provoking book. The Appeal shows that there is no perfect justice in this world. Money is King. The person with money can buy anything. The Appeal highlights the shortcoming of the judicial system.

It is sad to see that rich guy can spend million of dollars to market a person into judicial office, and brainwash him into doing the will of the rich man.

I admire the lawyers, Mary Grace and Wes, for their love and dedication for justice in The Appeal. They lost everything and fight for justice for five long years. They trust in the judicial system, and hope that they will bring comfort to their clients and friends. Their clients and friends have lost their loved ones to cancer due to the pollution caused by the chemical company.

It is sad to see that dedication and love for justice does not prevail. If the Appeal by John Grisham ends differently, it will be better. The ending of The Appeal is disappointing in that the rich and evil man triumphs and get away with killing so many innocent people.
