Review
“An important new novel . . . Grisham’s work—always superior entertainment—is evolving into something more serious, more powerful, more worthy of his exceptional talent.” —Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post “John Grisham makes a powerful closing argument against Big Coal, but the message never obscures a satisfying, old fashioned, good guy-bad guy legal thriller.” —Christian Science Monitor “Grisham has written one of his best legal dramas in quite some time with this dive into small-town politics. There's a mystery, but that's a minor portion of the story. The main thrust that will engage readers is Samantha Kofer and the cast of characters that help her discover her passion.” —Associated Press

Haven't read Grisham since his earliest and enjoyed them so I was curious. This is irritating - not with tension and pacing - characters, dialogue, structure, and research. I learned exactly what strip mining is in about three paragraphs - good to know. Unfortunately, the book drones on about it ad nauseum. Big Coal is Bad just like other Big Industry at some point. Poor people are beated by the system. So what's new in the telling? Nothing. Worse, the main character has one parent who is senior in the Justice Dept who could've launched an investigation into the illegal activities in a heartbeat yet doesn't bother to point it out, pack her bags, and return to Manhattan. Mom's investigation would've been a lot more interesting.
I'm a big John Grisham fan. I've enjoyed many of his books and thought it would be a no-brainer that Gray Mountain would be a good read. There are both pros and cons to reading this book. The cons are that the story, for the most part, plods along, and the protagonist is uninspired. But several of the other characters are interesting, passionate, and admirable, choosing to fight for the poor and disadvantaged with little personal economic reward. They fight in a bureaucratic morass, and its interesting to see what legal challenges they overcome. What this book has to offer, that I appreciate most, is an education on coal mining, and the brave and courageous efforts put forth by a handful of law firms to fight this powerful, ruthless industry. This is truly a David and Goliath story. Hardly a day goes by since reading this book that I haven't thought about the systematic destruction of men and nature by this industry, and how it incites fear in the environmentalists and lawyers fighting back. My hat is off to these heroes for their hard won achievements. Now with Trump in office, one of the first things the GOP did was allow coal companies to again dump thousands of tons of toxic black sludge into pristine creeks and streams, poisoning people and animals. A heartbreaking travesty. Linda Berry is the Author of Hidden Part One and Pretty Corpse.
This is the first Grisham book I've read and I'm left wondering what the fuss is about. I tried a sample and was intrigued by the protagonist, Samantha. I balked at first at the cost (why are e-books, with no printing costs, so expensive?) but decided to chance it since this is a big name author. By the end of the book I still had no idea what Samantha looked like or if she wore clothes. Admittedly, there may have been descriptions buried in there because it didn't take too long before I started skimming in a desperate search for dialog. This novel read more like an informational dump on coal mining, with the author preaching his views. By the first third of the book, we all get the fact that coal companies are the villain. We as readers don't need to be reminded, in great narrative length, repeatedly. The protagonist seemed to exist simply to give a reason to call this fiction. She never, at any point in the story, was ever at risk. Each time tension started to build, where it seemed like, finally, she was going to play the part of a protagonist, the plot fizzled. There were moments that made no sense, as when on one page Samantha is thinking how much she's not going to get involved and can't stand the guy, and the next page they are in bed together and she's helping him. But the worst things an author can do that make me, as a reader, never return to one of their books, ever again, are these. The protagonist was not a likable character (by the end of the book I was very tired of her whining, then doing the opposite of what she whined about, with nothing to show the change of heart). The characters were cardboard, inconsistent, and simply vessels to deliver the author's preaching against coal mining. None of the questions posed in the plot were ever answered. None of the villains ever brought to justice. The people that Samantha agreed to help, whose stories took many, many confusing pages, never have resolution to their problems, and she simply walks away from them. And the book ended with no change from the beginning - meaning no character growth, no change in the plot premise, nothing. In other words, there was no reason to read the book. I could just have easily gone online, researched coal mining, and ended up with the same result. And without spending money.
Not a bad read even though the story is very thin and there is practically no suspense. There is a bunch of good - almost saintly people - some engaging rogues on the side of the angels, a new heroine, skulking villains and helpless people who find no redress in the law. However the reader has to wade through pages and pages on the evil of strip coal mining and of some heartless and ruthless bosses. Doubtless a worthy cause but the lengthy developments are tedious. Nothing is resolved at the end and a sequel seems likely.
I politely disagree with those who think the book did not have a proper ending, or an ending at all. Because it did. An underlying theme in the novel is Samantha's dream of fulfillment, a life that is meaningful to herself and also others. Despite her life in exciting NYC, she hated her job. You shouldn't do that just for money. I can't imagine a job anywhere where I would be expected to log my hours for billing purposes. I did it for a short period as an accountant and hated it. And who in their right mind wants to work 80 hours a week? Unless you are self-employed and own the place. Then it's all yours, and it's a labor of love.I thought the characters were well presented and and the fiction and fact were accurate. If you want a Jack Reacher, etc. book this is not it. It's a powerful story when understood.
Feeble is the word I would use. The main character was whiney and too self centered. Just when she starts to break out of this 2dimensional character the book ends. Too many loose ends. Who killed Donovan ? Will she win the Tate case? Will she quit pouting about New York. I think this was a draft and then he got the flu and said ," what the heck, my publisher will publish anything and I could use a nice shot of cash".Wish I could get my money back.
