After reading the novel, “The Runaway Jury,” by John Grisham, I now see the literary genius that John Grisham truly is and how he meticulously constructs his plot in a manner that each significant event leads to another, highlighting all of the character’s behaviors and motives. He writes the novel in such a way that everything relies on everything else, in a way that every individual scene hinges on the parts of the previous one. For this reason, I think that Grisham’s development of the story is sufficient and shouldn’t be changed. His ending is absolutely suspenseful, as Marlee tells him that he’ll be seeing her and Nicholas around in a couple of years at another trial that will most likely be similar to the last one. Also, Marlee and Fitch meeting up for lunch to discuss post-trial matters is symbolic of all of their previous meetings throughout the novel, in which  they were working together to try and provide a unanimous verdict without confrontations. If the reader is finding this book to be a difficult read, then they should start out by taking some critical thinking classes and then play some memorization games. Readers that have a hard time reading this book obviously have trouble thinking analytically and shouldn’t ridicule the book’s plot scheme, as the story jumps from event to event, relying on the knowledge of the reader. For this reason, those individual’s opinions regarding the plots “confusion” should be disregarded, as Grisham has already pieced together a masterpiece. After completing this book, along with 9 journals discussing multiple aspects of this book, I would strongly recommend everyone to read this book, that is if they’re willing to sit down and relax to 550 pages of sheer suspense and excellence. The construction of the sentences and the way in which the plot relies on itself both contribute to the works’ excellence, an amazing read if the necessary amount of time is taken to do so.
