I never knew that books about lawyers could be interesting before I had decided to read books by John Grisham and Michael Connelly when I was looking for something new to read. Unexpectedly I was fascinated by the story and smartness of lawyers portrayed by these writers. John Grisham had been practicing criminal law for a long time after graduation from Mississippi State University and attending the University of Mississippi School of Law, and this fact made me appreciate his books even more. His outstanding writing talent has definitely made John Grisham one of the world's most famous lawyers.
