The Partner

Rating:
Summary: Its Brilliant!!!
Review: The Partner is so unlike John Grisham and I loved it. I kept turning the pages till I got to the last chapter and I couldn't shut my mouth for about ten minutes!!! Its really shocking at the end, that I had to repeat the last two chapters again and again. I feel that there should be a part 2 of the book. I used to think his books are predictable, but The Partner is really something else. Its a must read!!!

Summary: Dissapointing
Review: I waited for this book to come off the bestseller list for months.My wait was worthlessly spent. As with all of his books Grisham packed a great punch with all of the legal information, which I always find facinating, but when it came to the ending I was left feeling empty and dissapointed.

Summary: Grisham Lobotomy
Review: Reading this book was like a day at the beach, fun while you're there, but too much sunburn and sand in your bathing suit on the hot car ride home. If you decide to read this book, stop before the end and imagine what you will. I guarantee you'll be much happier.

Summary: Grisham you wasted my time!!
Review: I can't believ that I read this book! I feel so cheap, so dirty. Its not that Grisham can't write, he has a definite knack for story-telling, but it seems he's more interested in surprising readers than in just letting his gift work for him. I was so unhappy that I took the time to read this book that I would honestly put it in my all-time bottom five. I agree with another review here that it is like a TV movie in book form. Yuck! The only reason that I kept reading it was because it always "felt" like something interesting might be about to happen. Its like watching a bad movie on a rainy day just because you can't believe it won't get better. This not only doesn't get better, it falls into an abyss at the end. Instead of buying this book, tear up seven dollars and bang your head with a hammer - its the same effect and at least it will save you time.

Summary: An ending so bad, you'll wish you stopped reading early.
Review: So-so plot, never really gets going though. To say that it was poorly constructed would be an understatement. No real action, a good deal of the book was past tense - story within a story type of thing. Ending makes you feel like Grisham stole the hours that it took you to read the book right out of your life. I see mixed reviews here, but you gotta remember, people voted for Clinton, too.

Finally I recommend all avid readers to read this one , Grisham is ultra-smart , you can learn one or two things from this novel.Again I must stress that only Grisham can outsmart Grisham , so read it and be smart !

Summary: A suspenseful nonstop action story that is cleverly unfolded
Review: This book was action packed non with stop suspense throughout. Grisham wrote the story extremely well. It was a perfect plot that was cleverly unfolded. Patrick worked for a law firm. When the firm got a case that ended up stealing 100,000,000 dollars, he stole the money, faked his death, and ran from the U.S., and ended up in Brazil. He lived happily there, just like everyone else for four years, until one day, when they cauhgt him. From then on, Grisham slowly unfolds the story making it impossible to put the book down until you've read every single page. Be prepared to stay up all night long for the next couple of days once you start it.

Summary: Great book; surprising ending.
Review: I read this book on a family trip. A good book, which I finished in 3 days. I felt a little dissapointed at the ending, but after I thought about it for a while it made perfect sense to me. I am not gonna ruin the ending cuz I am not one who does that but I feel Grisham did a great job on this one and would definitely recommend it as one of his best up there with A Time To Kill.

Summary: As always...great story telling!
Review: John Grisham's way of storytelling is nothing short of masterful. The characters are well developed and artifully woven throughout the story, which makes the reading easy, fun and exciting. Also, his insight into the world of Law and crime is the formula that keeps me coming back for more. The Partner offer a suprising ending

Summary: Well, its almost worth reading...
Review: Grisham writes entertaining novels, but I finished this one and kind of wished that I hadn't wasted my time. Hey, Michael Jordan can have a bad game, so Grisham can write a stinker or two....
