Histoire
Number-one best-seller John Grisham returns with his most suspenseful thriller yet. Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of the USA only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett just became number five. I did not know Judge Fawcett, but I know who killed him, and why. I am a lawyer, and I am in prison. It's a long story.

Histoire
In the corridors of Chicago's top law firm, 26-year-old Adam Hall stands on the brink of a brilliant legal career. Now he is risking it all for a death-row killer and an impossible case. Maximum Security Unit, Mississippi State Prison: Sam Cayhall is a former Klansman and unrepentant racist now facing the death penalty for a fatal bombing in 1967. He has run out of chances - except for one: the young, liberal Chicago lawyer who just happens to be his grandson. One secret could save Sam Cayhall's life...or cost Adam his.
Description
John Grisham has a new hero...and she's full of surprises.
The year is 2008 and Samantha Kofer's career at a huge Wall Street law firm is on the fast track - until the recession hits and she gets downsized, furloughed, escorted out of the building. Samantha, though, is one of the "lucky" associates. She's offered an opportunity to work at a legal aid clinic for one year without pay, after which there would be a slim chance that she'd get her old job back.
In a matter of days Samantha moves from Manhattan to Brady, Virginia, population 2,200, in the heart of Appalachia, a part of the world she has only read about. Mattie Wyatt, lifelong Brady resident and head of the town's legal aid clinic, is there to teach her how to "help real people with real problems". For the first time in her career, Samantha prepares a lawsuit, sees the inside of an actual courtroom, gets scolded by a judge, and receives threats from locals who aren't so thrilled to have a big-city lawyer in town. And she learns that Brady, like most small towns, harbors some big secrets.
Her new job takes Samantha into the murky and dangerous world of coal mining, where laws are often broken, rules are ignored, regulations are flouted, communities are divided, and the land itself is under attack from Big Coal. Violence is always just around the corner, and within weeks Samantha finds herself engulfed in litigation that turns deadly.

Would you try another book from John Grisham and/or Catherine Taber?
John Grisham - of course. Catherine Taber - heck no.
Has Gray Mountain turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
DISAPPOINTMENT
Any additional comments?
I have spent MANY credits on John Grisham books, and this is the only time I have regretted it. First of all, the narrator's voice is so SLOW and BORING I listened to the first 2 hours at a higher speed on my Kindle. I THOUGHT that once the story got going I could slow it back down to normal speed and just enjoy the listen. I was so wrong. I am not sure if it's the narrator or the story, but this book sounds like half of those stupid half-hearted romance/drama novels. Her voice is just horrible...point blank. But the story seems like a drag too. I just don't get the same feeling as I do with every other Grisham novel I have in my library. I am trying to get through it because I am a loyal Grisham fan, but I am at the 5th hour and I think I am just going to quit before I throw my Kindle against the wall for some excitement..

Sorry John... wanted to like it... love you anyway
Bought this as a pre-order, excited to read something similar to John's early books... I even like his later books and would have settle for one of those. I downloaded it the first day... took me three days of literally forcing myself to listen in order to reach the end. I hated the narrator, disliked the main character and found the plot insipid. Found some action about 10 hours in... a bit.
This book would not of made print had an unknown author written it. "Big coal" is the villain, and yes some of the victims cases handled by Samantha were interesting... but gracious to Pete, what happened here John? Pleased don't write the sequel which is obviously hanging there at the end. It is not a chick lit book... this chick didn't want to finish it.

So Disappointing
Remember John Grisham? Remember the books that shot him to #1 over and over again? The Client, The Firm, etc? Gray Mountain is a pathetic shadow of one of his good earlier stories.
I kept waiting for the action to start. The beginning was great, loved meeting her parents and having her get fired, and getting the internship--all the parts that were written in the publishers description of the book. But after that, nothing happened. I was patient for hours as the story developed, but there was no climax. There was no one and nothing to cheer for, there was no John Grisham moment! The story is set in Appalachia, filled with colorful characters, but none of them really did anything. The stage was set, and then nothing happened.
The main character, Samantha, wasn't developed to the level you would expect in a 12 hour story. What she eats or doesn't eat is not enough for me to care about her as a character. What details were developed left her simpering and weak and a victim, when she was supposed to be the "heroine" of the story. Everything happened TO her, she didn't actually do anything. In the end, I just didn't care.
I know John Grisham isn't high literature, but I think it is fair to expect a level of entertainment from him and to hold him to the standards of his past books. I was very disappointed.
As for the narrator, yeah, she was terrible. She spoke way too slowly, which didn't help the fact that there was no action. She made me feel like she was reading to a group of 1st graders at a library. She also didn't change her voice for men vs. women so I sometimes couldn't tell who was saying what.
It's a John Grisham, so lots of people will still read/listen to it. But at least go in with much lowered expectations.
I do not recommend this book.

Not The best by John Grisham
Would you be willing to try another one of Catherine Taber’s performances?
No, she is a big part of the problem with the book.
Any additional comments?
I really enjoy john Grisham's books, even when he is trying to educate his readers, but this went a little overboard. The main character comes across as very spoiled, selfish and a whiner. The narrator, who sounds/reads like a teenager, makes the main character even more irritating and dislikable.

Perfunctory, tired and disappointing
Any additional comments?
To me, this book felt much like sunbathing indoors. After a while, what kept me going was purely the fascination to prove to myself that the exercise was utterly pointless.
As with other reviewers, I have generally enjoyed Grisham's books and was very much looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, I saw very little of Grisham's normal draws and gripping story telling. The main characters were underdeveloped and not particularly interesting. The whole book felt like a laboriously stretched out preamble to another, "real" story.
Overall, I felt this book was some type of business or contractual obligation to publish--a perfunctory effort to check one off the list. Very disappointing.

Did Grisham really write this?
I'm thinking he had someone ghost write this for him. Weak plot, weak characters - they didn't act in an intelligent manner. I kept wondering "why did he/she do that?" There didn't seem to proper motivation for a lot of the actions. There was a lot of background filler that made me think I was a lecture. Really bad narrator - weak and whispery. More suited to a romance novel.
This is absolutely my least favorite of all of Grisham's novels . . . so disappointing.

A Waste of a Good Credit
So sorry to have to write a negative review for a John Grisham book but this one is really a dud. Had this been written in the early 80's when we were just finding out the evils of the coal industry it may have been more interesting. As it goes, this book has been told many times by many writers. The coal companies are scum bags who have and continue to ruin the mountains of VA, WV and KY along with other states. So what's new about that?? And the narrator doesn't do a very effective job. Just a bad read/listen.
And BTW, to the reviewer William Crovatt of Tokyo Japan......a 'chick book'.....one the 'ladies would like'.....Hey dude it's 2014. You need to find a real woman!!!!!

Couldn't Force Myself To Finish It
Grisham is on my list of favored authors, and I pre-ordered this book. How sorry I am.
The story line is obvious, I didn't like the main characters, and the narrator is boring. After three tries, I gave it up as a waste of time.
I may be a little more careful in the future about what I buy from this author. Very disappointing.

*gähn*
Was braucht dieses Hörbuch, um für Sie zu einem 4- oder 5-Sterne Hörerlebnis zu werden?
Eine bessere Handlung - ich habe das Buch zu ende gehört und kann immer noch nicht sagen, worum es in der Geschichte ging oder gehen sollte.
Was werden Sie wohl als nächstes hören?
Crash & Burn by Ms. Gardner - die Gute kann nämlich spannende Geschichten schreiben
Welche Figur hat Catherine Taber Ihrer Meinung nach am besten interpretiert?
Die Stimme war OK.
Welche Figur würden Sie in Gray Mountain weglassen?
Samantha - Grisham's Frauenfiguren hatten schon immer einen Hang zum Eindimensionalen. Aber Samantha ist so langweilig und vorhersehbar, dass es nicht mal Spaß macht, was Schlechtes über sie zu schreiben.
Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?
Hört was anderes von Grisham. Sogar seine Kinderbücher sind spannender und nicht so moralinsauer.
