Adaptation Dye-Job/Dye or Die: Averted. Darby wears wigs in the movie, whereas in the book, she repeatedly cuts and colors her hair to disguise her appearance. | |

Amoral Attorney: Par for the course in a John Grisham story. An evil law firm not unlike one in another Grisham work factors in as minions to the Big Bad. | |
