John Grisham Books and Flicks

Okay, John Grisham fans (and I know there are a whole bunch of you out there), today’s FamilyFirst site is for you!
I really don’t know why someone hasn’t come up with this idea before. Grisham books vs. the flicks. Better or worse?
Now I know, you’re automatically going to take the author’s side. After all, the book is ALWAYS better than the movie, right?


Well, the website’s creator makes a pretty good point for the movie The Firm’s ending kicking butt on the book’s original premise.
Here’s their mission:
Welcome, John Grisham fans everywhere! Have you ever read a Grisham book, then watched the movie, and went “Huh???” Why did they change it so much??? Then, afterward, did you say “Ya know what? That movie was actually BETTER than the book! Or, perhaps you said “That stinks! They should have stayed with the book plot!” Well, that’s what this site is all about. I’ll start with posting my opinion about whether a film was better or worse than the movie, then you either holler “rat own!” or you tell me why I’m full of baloney. The rules are simple: this is a family-safe site. Please keep your comments pg-rated. Any violations will be promptly edited or removed, depending on what kind of mood I’m in. After all, Grisham is a non-age-specific type of author. Odds are your twelve-year-old daughter has read him, as well as your sweet grandmother. Use language that won’t offend either one, please. Also, please note that spoilers are rampant here! If you have not yet read a book or seen a movie, do both before reading their entries here! So have fun, and chime in with your thoughts!
The site is young, so there are only two entries. But they are pretty provocative, and the harried webmaster asks for your request on what’s next.
So read the commentary, let him know what you think, and let him know what Grisham book/movie needs the next review!
