>>>>John Grisham is a RICH ex lawyer, ex Baptist Deacon, turned “writer”.

Oh yeah, he is that, and from what I’ve read he’s one of the very few novelists/script writers who gets complete oversight of the way in which his novels are filmed.

But what I meant to illustrate is that in all of his earlier novels he uses the most elementary sentence, paragraph, and chapter construction that’s possible. His plots are great, but I think it’s the utter simplicity of his writing that’s made him such a great success. Easy-to-read airport novels can be big sellers (and there’s nothing wrong with that).

I agree with you! Point well made!

I have very little use for John. I believe that he has sold his soul out. A liberals liberal today.

I remember him, from when he shared a little nondescript, brick office with a State Farm agent.
