John Grisham’s “A Time to Kill” Introduction
John Ray Grisham was born February 8, 1955. He is a retired attorney and novelist. He writes legal thriller novels. As of 2008, his books have sold over 235 million copies worldwide.
Grisham received a Bachelor of Science in accounting in 1977 from Mississippi State University and his law degree from the University of Mississippi School of Law in 1981.
In 1984 while Grisham was in court, he witnessed the testimony of a 12-year-old raped victim. According to Grisham’s official website, her testimony inspired him to write his first book, which “explored what would have happened if the girl’s father had murdered her assailants.” This inspired him to write and finally finish “A Time to Kill” in 1987. The book was first published in June 1989. The movie “A Time to Kill” was released on July 24, 1996.
Like Grisham, I am also an attorney receiving my law degree at Penn State Dickinson School of Law. I have never enjoyed reading. But when I picked up one of Grisham’s book, I could not put it down. I hope to read a chapter every day on one of his book and blog on it. I hope to chat with his readers who love his books just as much as I do and form a Grisham fan club.
