I was worried the reason you stopped reading it was because you didn't like the story - you could always blame it on that if you're not sure what the reason was.

I think the only John Grisham book I read was "The Client," and that was unfortunately long enough ago where I don't remember much of it. Also, it was for school, so after procrastinating, I rushed through it. The thing I did like, and what should've inspired me to enjoy reading it, is that I got to pick it myself. In two (?) of my school years, we did a program for class where we were allowed to choose books on our own that we would read, then take a computer quiz on. I appreciated that it encouraged us to read, without forcing particular styles on us.
