Add to this Patrick's wife, infuriated and aggressively seeking a divorce, and we have a mix of different people all gagging for Patrick to suffer. However, as with every Grisham book, things are not always as they seem, and the author naturally has a few twists to the tale. My Opinion This novel from Grisham opens better than any of ...more

The Partner - John Grisham: How do you hide $90 million dollars? (556 words)
by - written on 08/05/08 (Very useful, 200 readings)
Rating:

The Partner is the 8th novel from the award winning legal thriller author John Grisham. With a background as a lawyer, Grisham has applied his learnt trade to his novels with great effect. The Plot Patrick Lanigan had it all: beautiful family, lovely house, great job at a top law firm. He was riding high on life. Then, one day, he dies in a sudden car crash, and everything ends. His family mourn, and his company rue the loss of a great employee. Until, that is, $90 million disappears from the company's funds a mere few days after Patrick's death. Suspicious, they realise all is not what it seems, and Patrick has conspired to fake his own death and ...  Read the complete review

Classic Grisham (198 words)

Classic Grisham is how I would sum up The Partner. The story involves a Partner of a firm realising he is on his way out whether he likes it or not. Before he gets the push he fakes his own death and steals a huge sum from the Partnership account. The book opens in Brazil when the main charcter's (Patrick) past is about to catch up with him. He is caputred and tortured by people working on behalf of the Partnership who are trying to recover the money. Patrick has a woman in Brazil (Eva) who he has taught how to keep the money away from the authorities should he get caught. The story involves Patrick, Eva, the authorities and the Partnership's heavies ...  Read the complete review

The Partner - John Grisham: A classic tale of cross and double-cross (427 words)

I’ll be honest with you (first time for everything eh!) I’m not that much of a reader, I tend to watch the film adaptation of many novels rather than reading the original source material, examples of this would have to be other Grisham releases such as ‘The Firm’, ‘The Pelican Brief’, ‘The Rainmaker’ and ‘The Client’. Many people (myself included strangely enough) would argue that a book is often far superior to any film counterpart – a quick example would be ‘Sphere’ by Michael Crichton – terrific book, terrible film, but that’s a different Op altogether. Knowing that I ...  Read the complete review

I had heard of John Grisham before but had never read any of his books. I won this in a raffle and at first thought about giving it to my father as a Christmas present but I am glad I didn’t, he can have it as a hand me down. John Grishams “The Partner” was about a lawyer that is in a bad marriage and with a law firm that he is a partner with and is burnt out. He decides to disappear off the face of the earth but as he does he finds the law firm that he is a partner to, is about to receive $90 million of which the firm will get $30 and he is to be fired. He disappears by faking his death but then the money also disappears. The hunt then ...  Read the complete review

The Partner - John Grisham: Another blinder! (115 words)
by - written on 10/11/00, updated on  10/11/00 (Useful, 98 readings)
Rating:

I bought this book as soon as it was published to add to my growing collection of Grisham novels. Certainly not a disappointment! This novel lives up to my expectations and enjoyment of previous Grisham courtroom stories. It is just as gripping as the others with a strong and compelling story line, from start to finish. The excellent characterisation adds to the unputdownable-ness of the book. It also has a superb ending, which sometimes I feel is what Grisham novels are lacking. I would recommend this book as a goo introduction for anyone that hasn’t had the pleasure of reading a Grisham novel before or someone who has been caught by the Grisham bug!  Read the complete review
