it wasnt until 3 years later, when The Firm came out, that he started receiving critical acclaim.

Actually "The Firm" was his first book, going by what it said on the cover. Grisham has written several books that I would classify as good reads, some of his books have not been so great. That probably holds true for every author out there.

No, A Time to Kill was his first book. You can't read. It came out two years before the firm. I HATE when people correct someone and they misinformed theirself.

Link to proof of my assertation.

I really appreciate your kind words, but contrary to your assumptions I can read quite well. If you would have read my post I stated "Going by what it says on the cover" It was a book on tape - maybe there is some bad info printed on the cover. Must be some bad info on the cover of the book on tape I just got done with. If I had a cam I would take a picture of it for you so you wouldn't be able to "read" either.

I would love to see your picture or even the serial number of the book on tape so I could order or find it myself. My allegation is that you can't read and just need to admit it. I mean why are you listening to a book on TAPE anyways?

Go to your local library and take a look for yourself - You've never heard of driving a vehicle and maybe listening to something other than the crap on the radio? The reader actually does a good job of distinguishing between the characters. I won't bother stooping to your childish little antics, there is enough of that on these forums already. I also am not disputing that its not his first book, you've already provided the link - I was going with the info I had instead of going out and researching this entire topic, if that is a major problem for you then I guess you'll have to get over it sooner or later.

You just can't admit that there is a possibility that you mis-read it! Are you sure it didn't say "First National Bestseller?" Link to front of audio box.

The cover at the library doesn't look anything like the one in your link. You'll need to go and check it out for yourself. Listen to it as well its really quite entertaining, ten audio tapes - unabridged version 14.75 hrs!

edit - From the back cover of the book. Quote "This author has, in his first novel, set a daringly high standard, one that his readers will hope he can reach again and again." - Library Journal - I guess in accepting the above qoute at face value I was in error.

All it takes if for someone to admit I was right. BTW, you are a loser and need to STOP POSTING.
