IR Blog Post 2-The Confession

The Confession-

Morality Tales as Horror and Suspense

Three Facts:
1) Mr. Grisham usually writes his novels in full length novels.
2) The Conviction is a book about a wrongly convicted man on death row in Texas.
3) This novel is slightly different from all his other novels because it doesn't contain much suspense and it teaches interesting moments over nail biting moments.

2 Questions:
1) Why did Mr. Grisham decide to try a different style of his usual novels?
2) Was this novel successful among the readers?

Opinion:
I personally like suspense, mystery style of books so I think I will enjoy reading about this.
Here's a link that I thought was also interesting that supports my opinion.

Vocab:
1) verve: vigor and spirit of enthusiasm
2) unencumbered: not loaded to excess or impeded by a heavy load
