Rating: Summary: The Firm Review: While I cannot say that this is my definitely favorite of Grisham's writings, this is undoubtedly at least number two, if not tied with The Partner for number one. This is a great book, with its own unique story line about a world-famous, highly esteemed firm that has a terrible secret. Be sure to read this one, and it and The Partner are both great starts for new Grisham readers. Grisham has done it again in this excellent novel. It is surely worth the money to purchase it.
Rating: Summary: Good, and enticing Review: The only book of Grisham's i've fully read. This kept me there till the very end. I finished it in five days, and wanted more.
Rating: Summary: Great Story, Flawed Social Message Review: A great story which keeps the suspense up right until the end as you wonder how the protagonist is going to escape his predicament.One aspect of the novel which I think somewhat flawed is the way that Grisham is trying to package a social message. While I agree with his message, that lawyers and some other white collar workers enjoy enormous privileges of which they often are not particularly conscious, this message is here blurred by the fact that in this case, these privileges are justified by the shady activities the Firm engages in. Furthermore, after all his lamentations about his ill-gotten privileges, ultimately the protagonist opts for a life of wealthy retirement rather than working for the betterment of society (as opposed to, e.g., the protagonist of Grisham's later novel _The Street Lawyer_). However, this flaw does not detract much from the reading enjoyment in this highly entertaining novel.
Rating: Summary: magnifecent Review: This book was a very good book it was my summer reading and i normaly dont like to read. but this book was the best book i have ever read and i think you shoudl read it I am 15 and it is a awsome book.
Rating: Summary: exciting and entrancing Review: This was my first ever Grisham book, and it is definitely not going to be my last. I loved this book. And I would recommend it to anyone, even if you aren't a Grisham fan, or someone who loves courtroom drama (which there isn't much of anyway). It's the story of Mitch McDeere, a new lawyer employed by a seemingly perfect law firm until he discoveres the Mob is behind the firm. The book is about his grappling with what to do concerning the FIB, the mob, and his friends at the firm. I truly enjoyed this book, it made me want to keep reading. Grisham's writing is witty and never boring. Since I read The Firm, I have dove into "The client" which I am enjoying, however I enjoyed The Firm more. Read this book, you'll love it!
Rating: Summary: The Firm Review: When John Grisham published his first novel in 1989 the results were mixed. Now with this book everything changed for him. The book became an instant hit earning excellent reviews across the board. At the centre of the story is a young Harvard Graduate Mitch Mcdeere who has chosen to sign with a prosperous firm known as Landini Lambert and Locke. They lease him a new car, buy him a very expensive home and hire an interior decorator to help Mitch and wife Abby with the decorating of the home. It all seems to good to be true. It is. An FBI agent who claims that they have evidence of corruption and murder within the ranks of the firm and unless he helps them out he will go down with the rest of them contacts Mitch. They agree to help shorten Mitch's brother Ray's prison time in Tennessee where he is serving a fifteen-year sentence. Now Mitch is torn between a rock and a hard place and whatever choice he makes will forever change his life. The Firm is a brisk thriller that starts good and ends with a rowdy finale. The supporting characters are all really good as is the pacing of the story. A superb read.

Rating: Summary: John Grisham's "The Firm" Review: Once you start reading this book you wont want to put it down. And as usual the movie is good, but the book is ten times better. The story line is great from page one, you never know whats going to happen next. This one is a great Thriller can't wait to read some of the other books John Grisham has wrote...
Rating: Summary: The Firm Review: The Firm was an excellent book if you like a lot of suspense. Mitch McDeere, the main character, is one of the top graduates at Harvard Law School. He gets brainwashed by this mafia-type firm and is hesitant whether or not to turn to the FBI. If he wants to live he should be turning to the FBI. Read the book and in the end you will find out what happens.
