polls above. JOHN GRISHAM AND SYDNEY SHELDON. WHO IS YOUR CANDIDATE FOR BEST WRITER? |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by Nobody: 2:30pm On Oct 15, 2008 |
I think S[b]i[/b]dney Sheldon is one of the most talented writers that ever walked the surface of the Earth. John Grisham . . . no comment. |

They are both exceptional writers, hmmm let me see, this question hard o. Will be back. |

Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by SamMilla1(m): 1:34pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
you should read grisham princessa, he is an exceptionl writer. |

It's funny really to compare two totally different writers whose genres are worlds apart. Grisham writes legal thrillers(?), Sidney doesn't. However, I will say here that between the two, Sheldon wrote more riveting books. He was really the Master of the game. On the other hand, Grisham is one of the top in his game, but not the best. There are a number of better writers of legal thrillers, I believe. |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by SamMilla1(m): 5:16pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
GRISHAM IS THE MASTER OF ALL IN LEGAL THRILLER. GIVE ME ONE NAME OF A BETTER WRITER |

Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by maedan(f): 7:08pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
SAM MILLA: wow. let me see. Just my view, but there are SEVERAL: Greg Iles - QUIET GAME William Diehl - PRIMAL FEAR John Katzenbach- HART'S WAR. Then there's James Patterson, Jodi Picoult, Steve Martini, Harlan Coben, Steve Martini, Michael Connelly etc. These writers have written some very renowned books. Grisham is one lucky writer to make the fame he has, because to me he really is just an average writer. Even other writers tend to derogate some of his work. But really, it's all down to taste. If to you he's the master of legal thrillers, then so he is. |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by SamMilla1(m): 9:58pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
maedan: I guess we are almost saying the same thing. Grisham is the master of legal thriller. THAT APART. LEGAL THRILLER OR NOT, HE IS BETTER THAN ALMOST ALL THOSE NAMES YOU MENTIONED ABOVE. Patterson is good. i happen to have many of his books here but the worst book from grisham is better than his best. His pattern annoys me. Grisham is not lucky, he is smart and intelligent plus he is a lawyer. but like u said, it all squares down to TASTE |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by Aiyetunje: 10:43pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
They cannot be compared! |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by maedan(f): 1:51pm On Oct 17, 2008 |
SAM MILLA: Almost all. Exactly. Now we ARE saying the same thing. Sorry to break it to you, but Grisham is really not that good. Like someone said once, he's a very good lawyer who just decided to write books. Like I said, if he's the best to you then he is. To you. |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by Tgirl4real(f): 8:07am On Oct 18, 2008 |
This is a difficult one cos dey are both excellent in their field. I LOVE THEM BOTH |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by emmy4naira(m): 5:48pm On Oct 18, 2008 |
guys, argument no supppose dey. we all ahud know by now that john na the baba |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by Nobody: 9:22pm On Oct 18, 2008 |
John Grisham isn't a spectacular writer. Personally, he hasn't been able to hold me. If for example I found a Dean Koontz or Sidney Sheldon book on a shelf, just the name of the author would sell it to me, because I've always enjoyed them both. Grisham? De nada. If you've read from both authors, then you'll know that if you took the storyline of "The Runaway Jury" and gave it to Sheldon, he would [B]SMASH IT!!!!!!!!![/b] |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by SamMilla1(m): 10:27pm On Oct 18, 2008 |
@mactao how many grrishams have you read |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by Gamine(f): 3:53pm On Oct 19, 2008 |
@Maedan i was gonna say that too, You really cant compare Both. Sheldon is more Diverse and yeah i like him ALOT but Grisham, He draws from His Law background and creates Some real Good Stuff |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by skywalk: 10:11pm On Oct 19, 2008 |
Micheal Connelly is good, Patterson i like, William Diehl well ok, Steven martini i read in the absence of any good book to read! And i SAY non of them come close to JOHN. Period! |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by TOYOSI20(f): 10:11pm On Oct 19, 2008 |
Grisham, it is for moi. . . . . |

JOHN GRISHAM DOES IT 4 ME ALWAY |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by Nobody: 1:17am On Oct 20, 2008 |
They are both excellent writters. But since I have to choose one, I'll go for Grisham. |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by zayhal(f): 3:38pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
Both are very good writers. JG's writing is limited to law stuff. Sidney Sheldon writes wider. If given the book of both, I'll read Sidney Sheldon 1st. I hardly drop his books until I've I get to the last page! Master of the game, Bloodline, Rage of Angels etc. Those books are superb. |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by adefranca(f): 6:05pm On Oct 22, 2008 |
Its really hard to compare the two since those two are some of my best authors. John Grisham made me fall in love with Law and Sidney Sheldon is simply out of this world. So for me, I'll say they are both great authors. |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by SamMilla1(m): 9:44pm On Oct 29, 2008 |
yea, they are both great writers |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by pejuhottie(f): 3:12pm On Nov 11, 2008 |
funny. i'm hearing 4 the first time dat john grisham is good at all. i read one of his books ( the temperament ) & i was disappointed compared to the not-easy-to-put-down, page turner sydney sheldon. |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by SamMilla1(m): 1:11am On Nov 12, 2008 |
pejuhottie: lmao!!! i am sure you dont know what you read. whats the temperament? why dont you just give your reasons for liking sheldon and then move on |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by Tgirl4real(f): 1:15am On Nov 12, 2008 |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by SamMilla1(m): 8:42am On Nov 14, 2008 |
ok, off to check it |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by ideaworks(m): 7:18pm On Nov 14, 2008 |
i have read works from both authors and i think sydney sheldon has edge over grisham. |
Re: John Grisham Or Sydney Sheldon by SamMilla1(m): 1:24am On Nov 19, 2008 |
Yea a lot of people think so too but i will still vote for jonhny |
