The Firm

Rating:
Summary: This is an awsome book, Grisham is the master!!!!
Review: The Firm is a great book. Grisham planned the plot real well. I couldn't stop reading it. After I read this book I had to start getting more of Grisham's books. It's hard to believe other people have only given this book one or two stars. So far I have also read the partner and I'm starting the client now. If you like Grisham you'll definitly like The Firm!!

Rating:
Summary: A good book.
Review: This book is no graeat piece of literature, but it was a fun read. I reccommend it. I also reccommend The Pelican Brief.

Summary: A dissappointing but approptiate ending.
Review: This was my first book by Grisham. What prompted me to read it was that a movie has been made on it. I wonder whether it has the same end. Being myself a lawyer, I enjoyed it and at times felt envious about the hard-work put in by the partners which no doubt was incredible. The idea was good but it lacked suitable action. The blackmail angle ought to have been made more intriguing. The book was too long and at times I felt like returning it to the library. The end though very disappointing was infact very appropriate leaving it to the readers to draw their inferences to be happy or sad.

Summary: Good, but the ending is lousy
Review: This is a great book for any reader who likes Grisham and his theme of writing. The ending was a great dissapointment. I think Mr. Grisham hurried through the ending like he was tired of writing 500 pages of the subject. The rest of the book was great, propelling me thorouh 499 pages.

Summary: What an ending!
Review: I thought this book was pretty good but the end was a let down. In my opinion, the movie was better.

Summary: Interesting book
Review: I thought this was a great book. This is the 2nd Grisham book that I have read. I found the use of a law firm was a fascinating cover for the mob. I just thought the ending could have been a little different. It was good though. There should be a sequel...............

Summary: the book was great, the movie better.
Review: This was his second book he wrote, I can honestly say not his best work. The movie was better.

Rating:
Summary: Good, but not great.
Review: I think I'm among the minority of people who didn't think this book was absolutely incredible. I enjoyed the read, but felt a bit let down at the end. It was good, but not great. Perhaps part of the problem for me was the disappointment with the movie version. If you like Grisham, you'll like this -- that's really all I can say.

Summary: Good. But not great.
Review: I turn to John Grisham for the same reason I turn to Michael Crichton. Generally, when I'm looking for a relaxing read -- something that won't require too much thought or stress -- I pick up Grisham. "The Firm" did not by any means disappoint -- it provided the mystery and intrigue that I hoped to find in it. It was, however, a bit tedious in spots. Perhaps the miserable attempt at turning it into a movie damaged my view of the book. In short, the book is worth the time to read it, but don't expect to be blown away by it.

Summary: Grisham is a great writer for his time and place.
Review: Let's not compare Grisham's stories to Dickens or Tolstoi! The Firm is a very entertaining and interesting story. It may seem a bit plain and simple, but hey! you're not looking for something like "The War and Piece", are you? This book is like most of those Hollywood movies: plain, simple but entertaining with lots of action -- exactly what you need if you just want to relax, sitting with a beer on your sofa reading/watching "The Firm".
