I like Jake Brigance. He is a relatable character that feels very real in all the books in which he is featured. My favorite stories involve people who do not exist that I find I miss terribly when the story comes to an end.
I did not care for A Time for Mercy. I was disappointed when I didn't really care what was going to happen next; Jake is going to have a courtroom surprise, or Jake is going to feel badly about something he is thinking of doing, or Jake is going to appear to fail only to pull a last minute save. I understand that not every story is A Time to Kill and not every story will grab our attention and keep it. This story tried to grab my attention and did not succeed.
