When it comes to reading books, I usually turn towards chick lit, however with nothing left in the house I wanted to read, I grabbed a copy of The Firm from my partner's book pile. I used to read Grisham years ago, but I cannot remember much about what I read, so I started this book with a completely open mind. Mitch McDeere ... Read the complete review

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 ... Read the complete review
