<p>I haven't read a single John Grisham book I didn't like.</p>
<p>I thought Of Mice and Men was pretty good, though we studied in school and that takes some of the life out of most books. I'd definitely like to read The Grapes of Wrath.</p>
<p>I had the same issue with Of Mice and Men. We read it in 7th grade, and I had this teacher that analyzed it to death. It got annoying very fast.</p>
<p>Grapes of Wrath wasn't too great. The southern accent got annoying fast. Also, the book develops rather slowly and the writing style's somewhat awkward. However, if you enjoy reading pages of descriptions and rambling, then this is the book for you! =)</p>
<p>SUP, i love john grisham's books!</p>
<p>I hated The Color Purple for the same reason. I hated the way the whole thing was written in the dialect of a poor black Southern girl. It was choppy and hard to understand. And it seems funny to me that Grapes of Wrath would have endless pages of descriptions. Steinbeck's writing has always seemed quite simple, not at all long and flowery.</p>
<p>Scarlet Letter, The Great Gatsby, War and Peace, Catch-22, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</p>
<p>In order beginning with my favorite:</p>
