So the other night I was laying in my bed, glaring at my ceiling just wondering "wtf am I doing". I turned to my right, and there the book was. The Pelican Brief by John Grisham. I sat up and started reading it.
At the same time, I realize the movie was in my dvd player. As I was reading the book, I made comparisons to the movie. I can tell you this much so far, the beginning of the book does not come up to par with the movie.
Its kinda weird come to think of it, in the book it describes one of the character and cool and sleek looking. But in the movie, the character is portrayed as a normal looking person with geek chic. This character goes by the name of Callahan, who is Darby Shaw's Professor/Secret lover on the side.
OH GOD. I SHOULD PROBABLY DESCRIBE THE CHARACTERS NOW!
Alright, so far in the book [which is pretty much the first few chapters] I've gotten a description on who each person is.
Darby Shaw- beautiful red haired lady who just happens to be ridiculously smart and 2nd in her class. Heh, no wonder her professor finds her interesting. This chick has it made. Brains and beauty.
Rosenberg- Supreme Court Judge who is ridiculously old, so old he's hooked up to an oxygen tank and can barely talk.
Jensen- Another Supreme Court Judge.
Callahan- Professor of Darby Shaw. He teaches a con law class, that everyone takes interest in even though its like the lamest class ever [so the book says].
okay honestly. I read this book around 6th grade. I didn't really understand it. But now that I've started reading it again, I understand it more. So I might as well give a quick summary on what the books about anyways.
[This by the way, isn't really a formal summary so yeah.. hahah]
Alright, so theres these 2 supreme court judges who were assassinated right? Darby Shaw herd about this and figured she could find out who can be accountable for the killings. Therefore she wrote this brief that ended up in her boyfriend/professors hands to look over. And from there it ended up going all the way to the government and took this as a serious matter. In the brief Shaw implicated that the government was a major contributor to this, so they go after her and try to kill her but instead they end up killing her boyfriend. And then she went to this reporter dude, hoping to get the word out. And so they basically go on this adventure just to exploit this and blah blah blah.
I know what its about, I'm just too lazy to get into major detail about it. I will in my next blog though dealing with this however. Promise. :D
