This article is a long way from meeting breadth, prose, and sourcing criteria.

• The lede is two sentences and does not give any information about the plot whatsoever, only that it was a best-selling book.
• The sourcing is frankly a bit of a mess. Why do we need 15+ cites for how long it was on the bestsellers list? We don't need to know what exact days the book was on the bestseller's list or where it was on any given day.
• Why do you cite a book review about a completely separate book, Salvation of a Saint?
• The background section does not actually give us any background about the author or what books he has previously written beyond the fact they evidently don't have Black characters. Does Grisham generally write legal thrillers? I don't know, because this is two sentences and a quote about the book's themes.
• The cancelled film adaptation is interesting. Has there been any investigation about this in the twelve years since?

Please don't keep nominating articles in this state to GAN. The only reason I am doing this is so other reviewers don't have to go through the effort of quick-failing all of these. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 01:22, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
