Rating: Summary: Listen to Me! Review: This book was an exellent selection for me to choose for my project. The book is intense and exciting for all readers. It was the best book I've read all year. This is my first John Grisham book, but I guarentee it's not my last!
Rating: Summary: The Firm Review: The Firm written by John Grisham is a magnificent read. This is a book you can sit and read in one day without stopping the suspense of the book is exhilarating. Grisham uses many characters in his novel. The main character in this novel Mitch is a young lawyer fresh out of law school and wanted by all the top Firms in the nation. His job leads him to discover things about his Firm that are very confidential and very dangerous. As the book progresses on the F.B.I. contacts Mitch and he is faced with an ethical decision of what to do. This book is a terrific read. I have read all of John Grisham's novels and this is by far my favorite and the most exciting. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a wonderful. If you like fast paced books and an action packed novel this one is for you. The book deals with love, money, and ethical decisions portrayed through the main character Mitch.
Rating: Summary: One of Grisham's finest... Review: This is easily one of Grisham's best novels. It is about a Harvard law student who gets woooed to a small Memphis firm. Before too long he realizes that the firm is really a front for a money laundering scheme for the Mob. Now Mitch has to run for his life to stay ahead of the FBI and the Mob.This book is very easy to read, the chapters are realatively short. There were a few times I had trouble putting it down. I really didn't understand a few sequences in the book. Like the afair Mitch had with a woman in the Caymans and his brother really didn't have a real role in the story. Overall, this is a great book. I recommend this book to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Grisham at his finest Review: The best Grisham book, which is like saying "the blandest falafel"--a bit incongruent. Of course, to each his own. Not to say I don't enjoy a bland falafel from time to time. In fact, Grisham is best when fried. He certainly knows how to twist a plot, build some decent suspense and help people feel vindicated in their lawyerphobia. So, if you're going to read a lawyer novel, try this one. It's a page-turner. Don't read too much into my falafel comments; there are plenty of falafel fans out there.
Rating: Summary: One of the best Grisham books Review: Ok. One more review of this book will probably not make a difference. This book has good pacing, good characters and a decent ending for a Grisham book. If you have not read his earlier work, such as the firm, you should.
Rating: Summary: Story keeps the book in your hands! Review: Great! Well written, interesting and fun to read. Kept me going back to the book. Great characters, love to hate some and love to love others. Freaky start and great ending.
Rating: Summary: No chance for error when writing reviews for masterpieces Review: Mitch had a Mazda and not a Nissan as written by the amazon editorial review.
Rating: Summary: Really, really, really quite bad Review: Considering Grisham wrote this book to be into a movie, no wonder the movie was better. I give this book one star because it provides more purgative power than staring blankly at the wall for two hours.
Rating: Summary: The Firm -- Book's Great; Movie's Not Review: I read Grisham's book _The Firm_ years ago and am reading it again. It is all engrossing. Having spent many summers in Panama City, Florida, I could relate to the locations in the end of the book. THEN, the movie comes along and makes millions. I was so disappointed that Grisham allowed(?) his ending to change so drastically. The ending of the movie involved the Mafia, but mail fraud was involved; WHY? Oh well, all Grisham's books are good. _The Client_, _The Pelican Brief_ were just like the books, so I am redeemed.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic, easy to read book Review: I saw the film about 5 years ago and thought it was pretty good and then for ages I just forgot about it. But last week I was looking about my local mall and decided to have a look in the bookshop and when I was in there I noticed The Firm and looked through a few pages......this was a great book and since it has nearly 500 pages you'll be occupied for a long section of the day. The story is so mesmerising that it is almost impossible to put this book down. On the back, one of the reviews said 'unputdownable' and as I am not much of a reader I knew I would prove them wrong. It took 5 chapters before I had to take a break. The best written crime thriller I have ever read.
