The Firm - John Grisham

THE FIRM JOHN GRISHAM I have read several of John Grisham books before, but hadn't read this one - 'The Firm'. If you haven't read any Grisham books I recommend them, they are generally all legal thrillers as the author was a lawyer and politician prior to his writing career. 'The Firm' is actually only the second novel Grisham wrote back in 1991. It has since been made into a film starring Tom Cruise, which, incidentally, I have not seen so I cannot compare the book and film. Threfore this review is wholly on the book alone, and there is a very simple plot behind the story. Mitch McDeere ...  Read the complete review

Like millions of people I have seen the film that was made from this book, and I am so glad that I read the book first. This was the first book I ever read by John Grisham, who is a 40 year old ex lawyer from Mississippi, and I have been a fan ever since. His name is now so well known, he is allegedly becoming one of the most read authors in the world. Legal thrillers seem to have taken over from spy novels, and lawyers like Grisham give more factual based stories than have been offered in the past. Anyway, back to the story. Mitch McDeere is the main character. He is a cocky law graduate who has numerous law firms bidding to acquire his ...  Read the complete review
