Book Description

In this searing courtroom drama, best-selling author John Grisham probes the savage depths of racial violence... as he delivers a compelling tale of uncertain justice in a small southern town...

Clanton, Mississippi. The life of a ten-year-old girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless young man. The mostly white town reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime. Until her black father acquires an assault rifle -- and takes justice into his own outraged hands.

For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as young defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client's life... and then his own...

Amazon.com

This addictive tale of a young lawyer defending a black Vietnam war hero who kills the white druggies who raped his child in tiny Clanton, Mississippi, is John Grisham's first novel, and his favorite of his first six. He polished it for three years and every detail shines like pebbles at the bottom of a swift, sunlit stream. Grisham is a born legal storyteller and his dialogue is pitch perfect.

The plot turns with jeweled precision. Carl Lee Hailey gets an M-16 from the Chicago hoodlum he'd saved at Da Nang, wastes the rapists on the courthouse steps, then turns to attorney Jake Brigance, who needs a conspicuous win to boost his career. Folks want to give Carl Lee a second medal, but how can they ignore premeditated execution? The town is split, revealing its social structure. Blacks note that a white man shooting a black rapist would be acquitted; the KKK starts a new Clanton chapter; the NAACP, the ambitious local reverend, a snobby, Harvard-infested big local firm, and others try to outmaneuver Jake and his brilliant, disbarred drunk of an ex-law partner. Jake hits the books and the bottle himself. Crosses burn, people die, crowds chant "Free Carl Lee!" and "Fry Carl Lee!" in the antiphony of America's classical tragedy. Because he's lived in Oxford, Mississippi, Grisham gets compared to Faulkner, but he's really got the lean style and fierce folk moralism of John Steinbeck.

                                --Tim Appelo

Amazon.com Audiobook Review

With a chillingly calm, even delivery, Michael Beck, a regular Grisham reader (The Rainmaker, The Runaway Jury), turns the narrative of this disturbing tale of racism, ignorance, and brutality into an almost visceral experience. "Cobb strung a length of quarter inch ski rope over a limb ... he grabbed her and put the noose around her head." The story is frighteningly believable and expertly crafted around a horrible crime and the tragic consequences that follow. At times, Beck's character voices can be distracting, but his efforts are generally applied to good effect, adding another level of tension to this already suspenseful look at a small Mississippi town's struggle for justice. (Running time: 17 hours, 12 cassettes)

                               --George Laney

From Library Journal

In this lively novel, Grisham explores the uneasy relationship of blacks and whites in the rural South. His treatment is balanced and humane, if not particularly profound, slighting neither blacks nor whites. Life becomes complicated in the backwoods town of Clanton, Mississippi, when a black worker is brought to trial for the murder of the two whites who raped and tortured his young daughter. Everyone gets involved, from Klan to NAACP. Grisham's pleasure in relating the byzantine complexities of Clanton politics is contagious, and he tells a good story. There are touches of humor in the dialogue; the characters are salty and down-to-earth. An enjoyable book, which displays a respect for Mississippi ways and for the contrary people who live there. Recommended.

                          - David Keymer, SUNY Coll. of Technology, Utica

There is nothing more true than that all the things of the world have a limit to their existence. As to the outrage aroused by Yao Jiaxin’s case, it died out inevitably at the moment of his execution. It sounds a little bit counter-intuitive, but people s...

First, about racism. I am Asian, I was brought up in a country with few whites and blacks. I don’t have prejudice to black people or white people. When I read the book, I could not feel much about racism. Carl Lee received fair judgement, actually, he’s p...

中文版的沒看過,英文原著看瞭不下五遍。 很有哈伯·李的《殺死一隻知更鳥》的影子,這本1961年齣版的經典小說至今仍遭受各種人的口誅筆伐。 先提一下John Grisham,他曾是一位極富正義感的律師,建築工人的兒子,現在則是一位極富正義感的作傢。他作品中的人物始終都是社會...

Then the time moved on to last April. When the judge was still deliberating Yao’s murder case at the end of his first trial, the angry question took on a new appearance: “Why the hell does it take such a long time to find a filthy rich and socially privi...  

評分

殺戮時刻是以律師為男一號,以一起報復殺人案的審理為主綫,不厭其煩地講述瞭美國刑事司法體係的運作程序,律師、檢察官、法官之間的閤作互動、勾心鬥角、嬉笑怒罵,陪審團的遴選與案情評議,精神病鑒定專傢的當庭錶演,控辯雙方的法庭辯論,可謂一幅麵麵俱到、惟妙惟肖的美國...

評分

終於把這廝給看完瞭,看起來好費勁,厚厚一本。關於racial discrimination這個話題,我始終得不到其中的分寸。這樣的一個故事,竟然還被拍成電影,那什麼是taboo的呢

評分

知道陪審團是怎麼迴事瞭

評分

聽過。依稀覺得應該是看過電影的,但細節已經記不清瞭。聽感來說還不錯,有不少生詞,但看慣瞭罪案及法律劇,囫圇吞棗的聽明白還是可以的。與標題的感覺不同,並不是情節跌宕的動作小說,更像是對美國司法體係的展開介紹,從Grand Jury的preliminary hearing到Petit Jury的選取方式,以及法庭辯論和cross-examination,無一不做瞭細緻的描寫,而時代背景是黑人備受歧視的60年代美國南部,黑白族群的對立和衝突同樣是最後庭審走嚮的重要影響因素。各個角色都比較豐滿,也給瞭足夠的細節來鋪陳,有時候甚至有怎麼又跑題瞭的感覺,對於結局,我其實覺得是與美國司法精神背道而馳的,雖然情感上也偏嚮這樣結尾。

情節略拖遝,比起結局,故事的背景意義更深。
