I really enjoy reading and was looking through my Dad’s huge collection of books when I came across The Firm, written by John Grisham.

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.

This was my first encounter with Grisham, and I read the book, on consecutive nights, for about 5 days. The Firm had me gripped from it's first chapter and proved how knowledgable Grisham is about Law. It is complex, human and addictive as a read and has surprises around every corner. Grisham's knowledge of law blows your mind. His grasp of language and ability to captivate an audience is to be admired. If you're new to Grisham, The Firm is a great starting point, because... once you've read it, you'll be back to the bookshop begging for more. ...  Read the complete review
