When I first read this story, the book had been out only a couple years. I enjoyed it very much at that time. On this latest re-read (2024), I had forgotten most of the plot so the narrative felt fresh. However, the prolonged shenanigans by the defense consultants and the repetitious details involving the jury-tampering made the story drag and derailed building the suspense. It's still a pretty good story, and the final reveal with Fitch and 'Marlee' a great ending. Grisham is a generally excellent author so fans are sure to enjoy the tale, despite the draggy courtroom testimony. Moral issues related to big tobacco companies are a hot topic in this novel and real life. The arguments—on both sides—made in this fictitious courtroom battle are thought-provoking, especially if you are a smoker. But then, The Runaway Jury is just a novel. Right? It's a crazy story of big-money purchasing votes, biased jurors, and corrupt lawyers. I found the story riveting and well-written, the characters fascinating, and the plot twists entertaining and suspenseful.
From Publishers Weekly Grisham is either remarkably prescient or just plain lucky; because with public concerns about the tobacco companies heating up, and two major nonfiction books currently garnering a lot of attention, he has come up with a tobacco-suit novel that lights up the courtroom.
