I initially bought this book as I had seen the film A Time To Kill (it's prequel) and studied it for a year, comparing it to To Kill a Mockingbird during my Film Alevel. I enjoyed the film and wanted to see how the story and the character's life continued.
Although I knew what had happened in the book very early on in the book and the disequilibrium and resolution in the last two chapters. I loved this book, I think that it is easy to be absorbed in the character's life and diegesis of the films, I still catch myself thinking about if the Brigance's moved into their new home. Most of the book contains the 'behind the scenes' of the court proceedings and how the protagonist attempted to do certain things to the trial, which (while being on jury service) was really interesting to see the similarities and differences between British and American court systems.
