That's unfortunate. Perhaps John Grisham's novels will follow. Whatta hack he is.
While I do enjoy most of Grishams books, there are a few that really did not catch my attention.
I enjoy the movies so I can see what "walk on" part he is doing, it is fun. But, evidently he isn't where he is on his own, he has wonderful help.
I hope he honors his friend as a good, honorable man should.

I posted a few thoughts of my father here
Read "A Painted House" for a different type novel from Grisham.
