What the hell?????!!!!!! Just finished The Appeal and it was not at all appealling!! Jeeze, I understand the lure of surprise endings and not doing what is expected, but in this case I think Grisham has let down his readers. I certainly was left cold, and will be much more cautious about future purchases by this author. Early books were great, and I had expected a comeback. Sometimes we need the good guys to triumph.

I didn't love the ending either...kind of short stop if you ask me...in addition to the afformentioned issues....

LOVE this book - I had to join to say in print: "The Appeal" is now my favorite Grisham book, and I've read them all. As far as a disappointing ending: "The Partner" had a horribly sad ending, but that is a great book as well!!

If you are THAT upset about the ending, than "The Appeal" has had an affect on you, and you will remember it.


SPOILER ALERT AHEAD:::: :




I loved the end, with Mr. Trudeau, the "great" one (yuck), gazing at the buildings of NY on his mega-yacht, with his next goal in mind: to parlay his 3 billion to 6 billion. I can picture his slimy self on that boat...he'll get his....someday.

I agree that this latest book by GRISHAM was terrible, hated the ending, actually didn't rate the book at all. What has happened to Grisham, he seems to be just churning out these novels that are rubbish. I WANT MY MONEY BACK R os

I love all of John's books. Have just finished "The Painted House" and "The Street Lawyer" which I really, REALLY enjoyed a lot. As far as "The Appeal" goes, i completely agree with Rob (below). thought the ending was surprising, very real life, refreshing and a brilliant idea

Rob "It ended much differently than i expected. I must admit, its somewhat refreshing for things to reflect reality where the good guys don't always win."

Is there a sequal planned. Loved the book, but not the open ending. I need closure!

Sorry Kate, but Grisham doesnt believe in sequels. He hasnt wrote one yet in 20 yrs.
You have to learn to love his endings so u wont be disapointed cause u wont get a second chance.
