Advantages: Exciting start

Disadvantages: Boring end

Every time I read a John Grisham book, I find a strange phenomenon takes place. This is not necessarily a good thing, so I will describe the phenomenon and its four main stages.

1. Picking up the Book.
I pick up the book in the shop and turn it over to look at the blurb. I see a glimpse of a long an exciting tale, so I decide to buy the book. I take it home and begin to read it.

2. Starting the Book.
I begin reading, and within the first three chapters, an exciting incident has occurred. This is usually a murder or some other sort of crime being comitted. The book has immediatly got my attention.

3. After the 3rd Chapter.
As the book goes on, a pattern develops among all John Grisham books. First of all, the person who was violated/witnessed a violation/thinks they are the next victim of a violation calls a lawyer and they try and figure out what to do (if they are not a lawyer already). For the rest of the book they/him/her think about what to do and avoid one or two small confrontations.

4. The Ending.
At the end of the book, a now somewhat predictable ending occurs. The people/person decide to finish off the book by just doing something they should have done to begin with (this is usually calling in the police or FBI or deciding to co-operate with them.

This sequence has occurred in all the Grisham books I have read, and, to be honest, it gets a little boring.
