À propos de cet audio

In Chicago’s top law firm, a young lawyer stands on the brink of a brilliant career. Now twenty-six-year-old Adam Hall is risking it all for a death-row killer and an impossible case: Sam Cayhall is a former Klansman and unrepentant racist facing the death penalty for a fatal bombing in 1967. Cayhall has run out of chances—except for one: a determined lawyer who just happens to be his grandson.

While the executioners prepare the gas chamber, while the protesters gather, and while the TV cameras wait, Adam has only days, hours, minutes to save his client. For between the two men is a chasm of shame, family lies, and secrets—including the one secret that could save Sam Cayhall’s life . . . or cost Adam his.

The book was great. The reading style was obviously in the early days of audio books, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

Great story

Another great book from this author. The story was descriptive but not too descriptive as to make the story drag. I was able to visualize the characters in my mind. The narrator had a great voice and the story was very informative about the laws in the south and the prejudices there. I couldn’t stop reading and finished the story very quick.

This story pulled me in... it made me cry. The story brings you in and has you hoping a murdered could go free. Never felt so absorbed by a story. I highly recommend The Chamber.

Didn’t have the ending that was foreshadowed. Instead it ended exactly as expected. Not worth it

Boring

This book has the kindest antihero I think I've ever loved. Grisham won me over with this book decades ago, and listening to it for the first time since I read the book all those years ago, I marvel at how Grisham can take a nasty, hateful character, and turn him into someone you wish would live forever.

Incredible Story + Wonderful Characters

The topic of capital punishment discussed through the eyes of the left. Odd slant, more sympathy for the criminals than the victims and their families.

Good narrator, boring and flawed story.

I usually enjoy John Grisham’s books but this one has to be the most long and boring books I’ve ever listened to / read. Glad it’s over so I can start something new. I kept going because I assumed, incorrectly that it would get better.
