The Partner

Rating:
Summary: Good...but
Review: I love Grisham books, and this one keeps the stile, but it's predictable after the first half and the end sucks.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book! A great read. With a so-so ending
Review: It was a great book with a suprising ending. Beautifully written. The ending brought this great book to a good book. Otherwise it's a real page turner

Rating:
Summary: Very engaging, but disappointing finish
Review: I couldn't put the book down. I was drawn into the story fully, and enjoyed it ... until the end. How could John do that? Hmmm ... I've read most of his books and I do like them, but I feel he just tried to make something unexpected at the end, which he succeeded, but it didn't make sense to me, and I was bummed out.

Summary: This book(?) was drivel.
Review: I don't know if it was a book, it seemed more like a pamphlet for cheesey writing. I'd rather read a bunch of cereal boxes! Grisham certainly has some avid fans, but if he keeps up this kind of trash, they won't last long...

Summary: The Partner is to literature what sticky floors are to films
Review: Really didn't like this book. It seems like a good idea for a novel that the author didn't really feel like working on. Lazy effort.

Summary: Must read textbook for all those wanting to be partners
Review: This book was so great I read it in 8 days flat! Grisham should be every intellectuals choice for fine writing. There is so much plot and ideas in this book that I got confused sometimes, and sometimes very thoughtful and wondering about life. I think I will have to read it again to understand all the hidden meanings and messages. Although I am not in law school, I believe all the law students should have to read this book before they become lawyers. I really respect lawyers because this book shows how scary is their life, and all the bad guys and stuff. Anyways, this book is right up there with Dostovsky and Tolstoo. Read it today! I mean it!

Summary: Huge let down!
Review: Whoa, what happened to the normal fast-paced Grisham fluff? This was one of the most depressing novels I've read in years. I won't be reading any more Grisham, there are too many other authors out there who can entertain more consistently without leaving you in a ditch at the end. The book did have potential, which saves it from getting only one star.

Summary: Mr. Grisham does it again
Review: When I read on the back of the book, I thought right away that I had to read it. And it turned out not to dissapoint at all. John Grisham has an ability to capture the reader into a net full of mysteries, and in this book into a world of one guy who succeeds in running away and hide far away from his life. All through the book you keep wondering how he completed that escape without being caught, without being discovered. And you feel with Patrick Lanigan all the way and smile about the cunning plot John Grisham brings to light. I recommend this book to people who don't mind reading about lawyers and justice...and to the one who likes some of his other books

Rating:
Summary: An action packed novel full of surprises.
Review: I just finished the book today. I couldn't put it down once I started. This book revealed a bunch of surprises that was unexpected. Patrick knew the legal system better than his partners in the firm. There was only one disappointment that I have with the book. Eva (Leah) never showed up to the hotel in France. I wanted to see her reunited with Patrick. When she didn't show up, I wondered to myself where she went? I want to find the answer to that question. Overall, It was a masterpiece.

Rating:
Summary: Don't Read the last 5 pages!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. In fact, if I hadn't read the last 5 pages, I would have given it 5 stars. But, the way that Grisham ends the novel almost negates the entire story. Why have Patrick go through all that he does if the story is just going to end the way it does? Absolutely not worth it! Aside from the ending, the book was absolutely amazing. Totally enthralling. A real page-turner.
