Summary: IT WAS OKAY...
Review: wow I'm seeing lotsa opposite comments here...but basically I thought it was good. It seems smartly written, cause I didn't get all that info on all those crimes the first time, but it's thrilling--a very good book. It would have been better if there was more action in the end tho.

Summary: impossible
Review: After having the book on the shelf for allmost a year I tried to read it when I had some spare time. I didn't like it at all. It is badly written , and the plot has a lot of ommissions. When it was obvious for the first time to the firm that Mitch tried to speak to the FBI they decided to let him live! I thought the mob was ruthless? The end of the story was very bad and to me, after the preparations the writer made in the first part of the book, a disappointment. I also had the feeling I was looking at a soap. If I skipped a few pages, I knew instantly what had happened in the skipped pages. When books are good, I'd like to read them more. I don't have the feeling with this book.

Summary: Definitely a book I will read again! I just love it:)
Review: This is the first one of John Grishams books I have read and I think I will read some more of his! Excellent book. Exciting, suspenseful, I am on my third time reading it already. It is so good!

Summary: The Firm - an insult to American Literature
Review: How on earth a story with so many obvious holes could have launched Grisham's career is beyond me. From a legal standpoint the plot lacks credibility. And as usual with Grisham's novels, the protagonist wires a bit of money around the globe and makes instant millions - Deus ex Machina - what a cop out! The Firms ends ridiculously with Mitch and his wife 'hiding out' a couple of miles from where the Mafia blew up two of the firm's lawyers. Dumb or what? Its not all bad though. The life of a workaholic rookie lawyer is well crafted, as is the greed of the partners. But all in all the story sucks. Pass on it.

Summary: The best novel I have read in many years
Review: Some weeks ago I was reviewing the catalog of a well known, distinguished law school in the West Coast. In one of their pages they said: John Grisham meet Gregory Dillon, and they told his story of being an exceptional good student who had a lot of things to do, in addition to preparing for his Bar exam. He completed all his taks and also passed the Bar! But I did not understand the full meaning of this, until I read the book. No doubt, John wrote a great book, and I really enjoyed it. I took it one Saturday morning, and could stop until about 10 a.m. the next Sunday. It was well worth. Congratulations.
