MC, I like Grisham, and believe I've read nearly all his books, too. However, I don't think any of them lived up to his first.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through "The Hour I First Believed" by Wally Lamb. Although I wasn't a huge fan of "She's Come Undone", I loved "I Know This Much is True".

This newest book is captivating. It's about a schoolteacher and his wife, a nurse, who run into some marital trouble. Determined to start over, they leave Connecticut for Littleton, Colorado in 1998. They are both hired to work at Columbine High School. Based on true events, this fictional work follows the after-effects of the massacre, from terror to grief to survivor's guilt to chronic PTSD. It's an amazing book, although I find his main character to be a bit TOO flawed for my tastes. There are times he's just plain annoying.

At 800 pages, it's a bit of a challenge, and Lamb sometimes goes off in too many directions, but I haven't been able to put this one down. I highly recommend it.
