The Firm

Summary: Why Does Everyone Love This Book? Boring!!!
Review: John Grisham sure turned out a stinker in this book, but for some reason people seem to like it. The Firm starts out by giving obvious clues (not just to the reader, but to the young lawyer) that his new employers aren't exactly above-board. How he can be such a brilliant young man and not see the clues is beyond me. He gets suckered in, and as it finally dawns on him that he works for the Mob, they start pushing him to do things he shouldn't, and are completely out of character. Most of the things he did seemed "realistic" enough, but his beach tryst was nothing more than a plot device. This is the one Grisham book that I would not recommend to anyone

Summary: Absolutely exciting!
Review: The Firm has to be the best book John Grisham has ever written, and one of the best books I have ever read... It was intriguing, and extremely exciting!

Rating:
Summary: Thriller of thrillers!
Review: The Firm was my first encounter with this astonishing author of whom I had never heard before.I can assure you all folks,that was a very intriguing acquaintance! The last time I experienced such suspense was with Ken Follet and his german spy "Die nadel"!Read that one too!

Rating:
Summary: Amused and satisfied
Review: The Firn is brilliant, its tricky, clever, deep, ironic, gripping and genuinly funny. You'll just love the Mitch / Tarreance conversations. The FBI gets crushed every time, it's hillarious. R.R

Rating:
Summary: YES!! Grisham did it again!
Review: Grisham is a great storyteller!! keep it up John

Rating:
Summary: Predictable.
Review: This book is predictable, which to me is the worst crime a book can commit. Read it if you must, but you'll see the ending coming a mile away. I literally threw this book across the room when I was done, I was so insulted

Summary: A thrilling book, one of Grisham's best!
Review: All the time in school, or most, was devoted to reading this book. Every minute I got in the painstaking fifth grade class was used to finish The Firm. It was thrilling, compelling and best of all, quite believable. I found it a mixture of The Pelican Brief and (hmmm..) The Client. It has The Pelican Brief's runaway, chase, know-something-wrong plot and it has The Client's know-too-much plot and it's suspense. I hope Grisham has a plot as good as this in future, 'cuz with a plot as good as that, he could gain more fame, more popularity. I loved Mitch McDeeres character: strong and courageous. I didn't find the movie as good. It didn't reach into my mind and spellbind me. I think The Firm is excellent

Summary: Well Planned, thorough, and descriptive down to every detail
Review: Hmmmm. How to describe The Firm? Well I would have to start out by saying that I think, personally, that this so far is Grisham's best work. (Although I have not yet read The Partner.) I loved this book! Grisham takes a small-town law-school graduate, and mixes him in with one of the biggest firms-"Bendini, Lambert and Loche" Well Idon't want to give away any of this books personality, so I will just say that this book was well thought -out. Intelligible, and interesting to every last detail. And believe you me the details are very thorough! If you've seen the movie version of "The Firm" and liked it, READ THE BOOK, it is 50 times better than the movie!!! I LOVED IT, so READ IT
