 The Associate - John Grisham
Newest Review: ... agenda for these men, they need Kyle, they need an inside man at a big law firm, in other words they need a stooge to take ... more  ... all the risks and receive little reward.
Meanwhile, Baxter one of Kyle's roommates enters rehab to kick his drug and alcohol addiction. Will Baxter throw yet another spanner in the works for Kyle?
My Thoughts
I've read most of John Grisham's books and have really enjoyed the majority of them. This book is certainly not one of his best. But I'm not sure if that's because I've read a lot of his books and a lot of similar books and I just have high expectations that he's failed to meet, or because it truly is a poor ...more |

The most recent work from the King of the legal novel. I will not go into the back ground of the author but it suffices to say that if you are a fan of crime thrillers/ legal thrillers/ any kind of thrillers you will love John Grisham's novels. The Associate begins with the introduction to the protagonist, Kyle, who is a high-flying law student, about to start his journey into the world of work. Things are however, never that easy in the world of the thriller novel and we are quickly introduced to the darker side of the novel and the world in which Kyle will be expected to work. You have probably read novels about associates at big New York law ... Read the complete review

*Introduction* I am ashamed to say that this is the first John Grisham book that I have read. Obviously I'd heard about him before but I just hadn't read anything by him. I have just finished reading all of the books by my favourite authors James Patterson, Martina Cole, Mandasue Heller and Mark Gimenez so I thought it was time to try John Grisham. I thought I would start with him most recent novel, The Associate. *About the Author* In 1981, John Grisham graduated from the University Of Mississippi School Of Law. He then went on to manage his own law firm for nine years. He began his writing career when he wrote A Time to Kill and gave ... Read the complete review

Easy to dip in and out of. Well written. Good "little room" reading. A little too big and heavy to be a true "pocket" sized book.

Well researched gritty, gripping novel. Not quite as good as her previous novels
