This 468 page book began with intrigue, suspence, and style. The story line was one of Grishams best. The entie way through I felt like I knew the characters, which I love about books. All that changed when I reached the end. At the very end of the book one character did something, that so wasn't who she was, that it ruined the entire book. ...  Read the complete review

Well the next Grisham book I come to is The Partner and despite what some people seem to think no he’s not paying me (although any cash would be much appreciated). He seems to be an author who sticks to a set and regiment style but he makes this style work well. Although the subject matter probably doesn’t appeal to everyone, Grisham ...  Read the complete review

I chose The Partner, banking on the popularity and success of John Grisham?s books as well as movies. This paperback book, stamped #1 New York Times Bestseller on the front cover, was published in 1997. Working in the field of law himself, Grisham has written many books that fall in the category of legal thrillers. Not very well acquainted with ...  Read the complete review

The book opens in Brazil when the main charcter's (Patrick) past is about to catch up ...  Read the complete review

I bought this book as soon as it was published to add to my growing collection of Grisham novels. Certainly not a disappointment!

The excellent ...  Read the complete review
