Trivia

[edit]

Trying to establish a connection between the fictional character Sam Cayhall created by John Grisham and the true story of Robert Edward Chambliss. Their stories are very similar. Both were involved in a bombing spurred by racism and were caught. Both were not convicted at first but after at least ten years, were retried in court and convicted. Is there a connection between these two stories?

Gory?

[edit]

I haven't read the book, but have seen the movie, and the ending is hardly gory – Sam is executed in the gas chamber. Is it different in the book? If not, that word should be changed or taken out. Darguz Parsilvan 00:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken it out. Porcupine (prickle me! · contribs · status) 07:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sam is indeed executed which is kind of an anticlimax because while I was reading teh book that's what I expected. I was hoping for a twist. There is no gore. Nadquilp7 (talk) 21:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reception Section?

[edit]

Perhaps a section referring to the general reception of the novel is needed? there are a few critical reviews listed if you search for them (from NYT and such) Scradzie (talk) 03:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
