Summary: THe Firm, a great introduction to John Grisham
Review: As I started to read this book,I was cought up in the intricate tale of a young brilliant lawyer with a beautiful wife and a promising future; make his way up the
socieconomic ladder and establishing himself within his associates...then later to find that his entire
future is in jepordy. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has never read any of Grisham's
books or has not the silightest interest in law or any matters related to it. This is a fantastic novel that
I managed to stay up untill 4 AM sometimes reading it because I could not put it down. As I said,
this is a great way to be introduced into John Grisham's works. By far this is my favorite novel of his
and of any other multitude of genre or author I have had the pleasure of reading. The Firm is also
probabally the most ejoyed and is revered as his finest work. This is true, pure Grisham at his best.
This book I highly reccommend.

Summary: Oh, man, is this ever good!
Review: What a fantastic read. By far this is Grisham's best effort and worth every cent. Grisham has taken a classic "caught between a rock and a hard place" idea and spun it into a wonderful page turner that you will NOT be able to put down. With its themes of mafia, the FBI, and a "too good to be true" job handed to the main character, this flawless tale will keep you up at night. Excellent writing, believable characters, and a tour-de-force plot make this one of the best buys for your money. Can you tell I like the book? Have also read two other very good novels lately, though they are completely different in theme and pace from this one: "Birth of Venus" and "Bark of the Dogwood." Both are great, but please, please, please buy "The Firm" first!

Summary: A Book that will keep you saying WOW!
Review: I tried reading other kinds of books, like Stephen King books but they just didnt do it for me. The action started way to late. However, in The Firm the action started right in the begininning of the book. After the first 40 pages I could already notice something wasnt quite right about the Firm. This made me want to find out even more. Some of the situations that Mitch Mc Deere got himself out of were pure genius on Grisham's behalf. It was also the plot as a whole was just superb. I urge everyone to read it. The thrill of this book will keep you yurning pages until you finish. It had a fully satisfying ending. I just couldnt stop think WOW how did he get himself out of that. It is my new favorite book and I cant wait to read some more of his book. Also , if you like the Firm you will also enjoy the client.

Summary: Give me a break.
Review: A law student gets wooed by a "small firm in Memphis" paying top dollar and promises huge returns. Yeah, that wasn't suspicious. Okay, suspend belief. Greedy lawyer takes obvious bait. Now, go cheat on your beautiful wife with a stranger on the beach? Please. Who does that? Mitch is endeared to his wife, Abigail. Grisham makes that abundantly clear, so he cheats? A bit too convenient, don'tcha think? Photos for blackmail - whew, couldn't see THAT one coming. Come on. The worst thing about the book is that the last 30 pages feels as though Grisham is trying to figure out a way to clear McDeere. He runs around the south east, to Florida, gets on a boat to escape, blah, blah, blah. I think the ending of the movie was more creative than the book. At least the mail fraud was plausible.The central idea of the book was my favorite part. I thought the mafia cover up for laundering money was a great idea, and sucking in unsuspecting lawyers was smart. But Grisham could have done better with the twists and turns, and could have developed a better escape path than just having McDeere run around until he fell onto a boat. Further, having the Firm's security team doctor fake photos of McDeere and mistress would be far better than tarnishing his reputation. Same effect of blackmail without the shame. "The Firm" is an easy read with shallow characters and shallow, convenient plot line, and a lame ending. Enjoy the movie. Cruise is a perfect McDeere, and the ending is better.

Summary: A Fun and Fast Legal Thriller
Review: When you pick up this book, you will not put it down until you are finished. The book is about a recent law school grad. who joins a firm and begins a promising career. The firm has dark secrets which he discovers and is unable to overlook. Then the book gets interesting.
As the main character was fleeing the bad guys, I felt as if I were running with him and actually became out of breath. There is hardly a moment's rest for the reader because the book is so action packed and fast-paced.
This was John Grisham's first book. I knew when I read it that I would read his next, and his next, ...

Summary: One of Grisham's best
Review: This is a truly amazing Grisham book, full of plot twists and suspense. It's no wonder it catapulted Grisham into the bestseller arena.
The story starts out simple: Mitch McDeere is recruited into a creepy law firm situated in Memphis. They give him a high salary, a BMW, and a good mortgage. No one has ever quit this firm, which seems to be a good thing... But then Mitch realizes that people from the firm have a tendency to die, and the FBI is involved too. No spoilers, but it gets even more intense as the book goes on.
This is a great and fairly easy read. Like most Grisham books, you will find yourself hooked to this book from the start. The ending is good, and you may even find yourself re-reading it sometime in the future. You will not be disappointed with this book.

Summary: My View on the book The Firm
Review: From a decisive point of view The Firm is one of the best books I have ever read, and I would recommend it to anybody who loves to read. I have the benefit of reading this book. I enjoyed the parts when he wrights in a fast pace style, which occurs throughout most of the book. I also like his use of the central character as a highly regarded lawyer who is faced with the circumstances of spying on his firm for the FBI. I also like how he at first portrays the firm to be well thought-of then as the book progresses he changes your vision on it. Despite the fact that before I started to read the novel the span discouraged me it was well worth it in the end.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is the first book that I've read by John Grisham, and I am very anxious to read another one. I think that it's a very easy book to read when you're tired and you need to take your mind off daily troubles, the story really grabs you and I found it difficult to put the book down.
