It feels like so long ago when I read it.<br /><br /><b>Sandy</b> - LOL I don't remember that about the movie. Now I want to watch it just to see what you mean about the character's looking like they were slathered in baby oil. <br /><br />I believe I saw the movie Misery before I read the book, which is what, in part, inspired me to read the book. I couldn't picture the main character as anyone but Kathy Bates. She did such a good job.<br /><br /><b>Kathleen</b> - I agree! Kathy Bates was perfect for the role. I really do prefer reading the book before seeing the movie but it didn't happen in either case with these two books.<br /><br /><b>Samantha</b> - I really want to read Pelican Brief one day. It wasn't my favorite movie, but I remember thinking I might like the book. <br /><br /><b>Heather</b> - The ankle scene was definitely cringe worthy. Ouch! <br /><br />I have quite a few older books still in my TBR collection I always say I'll get to. I wish I had more time and energy to spend reading them. So much focus is put on new books--which is great--but there are so many older books worth reading too.<br /><br /><b>Stacy</b> - I've enjoyed most of the other movies made based on Grisham's books, but I confess I haven't been too excited about reading his other books. I've read one other of his books, which hasn't been made into a movie--but that's about it for me so far.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-87851915312700017262011-07-26T10:54:44.829-07:002011-07-26T10:54:44.829-07:00A Time to Kill was my first Grisham and I remember...A Time to Kill was my first Grisham and I remember really liking it.

I often think I'd like to go back and read some older books instead of always reading the new stuff. There are tons of books out there that are worth a little perusal, you know?Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-57654889667729065932011-07-21T18:40:47.079-07:002011-07-21T18:40:47.079-07:00I used to love to read John Grisham when I was you...I used to love to read John Grisham when I was younger and remember reading this book awhile back. I'm wondering if I ever watched the movie or not.

I did enjoy both the book and the film. I read Misery and then saw the movie.
