Summary: Predictability strikes again
Review: Once again Mr. Grisham has disapointed readers by failing toilluminate secondary characters to anything past cartoonish status.While Mr. Grisham is clever in his use of legal manuverings to generate plot lines; his failure to develop characters readers care about, causes one to speed through his recent books without a care. Books such as A Time to Kill and The Chamber created characters the reader should be interested in. In his recent books, Mr. Grisham fails to develop what should be the most important element of any book, characters the reader can identify with, pro or con. Perhaps Mr. Grisham should take a year or two off rather than continue to churn out movie scripts. Harsh words, but spoken by someone who is truly a fan of the author.

Summary: I'd rather re-read one of his others
Review: After reading a Grisham book every Memorial Day weekend for the past few years, I was really disappointed. Yes, the plot kept you going, but the pay off was disappointing. Patrick's a "hopeless romantic" (with apologies to Joan Wilder)
Rating: 
Summary: This book will become the "NEXT" Grisham movie
Review: This book is most definetly one of his better books; the plottwists are mindblowing and you actually feel for the main charactersin the story. But this reviewer had one major problem with is novel; the feeling that you were watching a movie instaed of enjoying a good novel. I really do feel the author was writing for the big screen instead of writing a good novel. Otherwise, this book is good fun and a great summer read.
Rating: 
Summary: Another good light read.
Review: I can agree with many of the reviews here. In a nutshell; therewere very likeable characters, the story moved along very well, fairlypredictable. With good production will make a better movie than a book. However, I read it in one evening -- something I haven't done in a long time. Hey John, why not just write screenplays, they're shorter.
Rating:
Summary: fast and furious, with a twist
Review: Once I started reading, I didn't want to stop. Kept me up allnight; I could really relate to Patrick in his quest to do whateveryone wants to do. The ending really blew me away, more than the Chamber threw me. He gets a little of his own in the end.

Summary: Not his best, not his worst.
Review: After having read all of Grisham's books (some more thantwice), I can say that "The Partner" is okay. There is noother word that describes it more accurately in my opinion. It is a good read on a very boring Sunday afternoon, if you don't play gholf. It is more in the league of "The Rainmaker", which means I will not read it a second time. It concerns a young innocent partner (yeah sure) who was very devious (in a good way) in dealing with his, oh so corrupt firm of older mean lawyers - sound familiar? Right on! As with all of Grisham\222s other novels, it is an easy and somewhat absorbing read, but please don\222t expect "A Time to Kill" - It will not keep you awake until 2am the next morning, but might give you pleasant dreams.

Summary: Good
Review: This book was excellant up until the last chapter. I wasutterly shocked that I had developed such a liking for Patrick andwanted him to ... I guess this goes to show that we can't have our cake and eat it to!!

Summary: Coundn't put it down!!
Review: After the disappointment of _The Runaway Jury_, I wasn't surewhat to expect from this one. Once I started, I could not put itdown. I did find it predicatable at times but the ending blew me away!! I highly recommend it!!
Rating:
Summary: This book equals none of his others.
Review: I've read far less enthralling books but this defenitely is Grisham's worst.
I started reading it immediately after finishing „The Runaway Jury" (which was great!) and I was disappointed. In fact I just kept on reading because I wanted to get over with it and start another book.

Summary: Yawn. Is it over yet?
Review: Not only was the book written in cookie-cutter Grisham style,it was much less interesting and intriguing than other Grisham books. Grisham did an adequate job of explaining things, but many of the explanations were thin at best. Additionally, I didn't feel as though he developed the character as much as say, The Firm. Finally, the ending was poorly contrived and unbelievable. Grisham spends the entire book painting things one way and then tries to convince the reader that it was all a farce in two pages. I'm not saying it should always be a happy ending -- just a believable one.
