 ... Without wanting to give anything away regarding the plot, the novel is essentially about a guy named Mitch McDeere who graduates third in his class at Harvard Law School and therefore can essentially pick where he wants to go next. Instead of going to Wall Street, he is tempted towards a small Memphis firm called Bendini Lambert and Locke as a result of the $80,000 they're going to pay him, the low interest mortgage they will provide and the desirable car thrown in to the bundle too. The problem is that this firm isn't...more

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

This was the first John Grisham novel i read and i have been hooked on his writing ever since. Mitchell McDeere is the newly qualified lawyer who graduates third in his class. Amongst all the job offers that pour in Mitch takes one from a small highly thought of law firm. The deal on offer includes almost double the salary, a BMW and a low interest mortgage. Along with his new wife he thinks he has it made. Thats before he discovers the firm is built on the work they do for the mob. Grisham has built a great story around the basics of a young would be lawyer joining his first firm. The book quickly takes the reader fromm a young couple full of hope to a desperate ...  Read the complete review

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. I liked what I read on the back of the book so decided to give it a read. It was that good that less then two weeks later, I have now finished it. John Grisham John Grisham was born on the 8th February 1955 in Arkansas. He graduated from Law School in 1981 and then practised law for over a decade. He wrote his first book in 1987 called A Time to Kill and has continued to release number one bestsellers from here on.

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

 

Products similar to The Firm - John Grisham

Characters, developed plot, absorbing None

great addictive story line Grisham's writing style

Main idea is interesting, although this is let down in execution. Poorly plotted & developed. Contrived motive & ending.


A great cast of characters, in-depth opening and fast-paced finale! Bond character a little weak, slow middle

suspenseful, interesting, complex very dragged out (but good for suspense)
