I read this for a TBR potluck challenge in my online book club, The Reading Cove.
Oh, boy. The writing style in THE LAST JUROR by John Grisham was laborious for me. It was suuuuch a slow-going first person narration by Willie Traynor, he could basically put you to sleep with how he meanders!
Most scenes and interactions are summarized not shown, and you're basically just getting a history lesson about rural Mississippi as Willie learns things for his newspaper - human interest stories and whatnot...and this is all smothering a rape and murder trial that I eventually just lost interest in.
After the first 200 pages, I just skimmed through to the end. I renamed this one THE LAST YAWN.
