Pros: Suspenseful? You bet!
Cons: Characterization is a little shallow. Too many folks to hate!
From the friction of the rapid page turning of one of John Grisham's first novels, "The Firm." I could not put this book down, as the suspense and unique plot made this one of the most thrilling books I have read in quite a while! This is a "must...

Pros: An attention-grabbing legal thriller that pulls you in and keeps you interested
Cons: Tom Cruise doesn't appear in the book like he does in the movie!
"The Firm" was the first book by John Grisham that I had ever read. I have since read nearly all of his others, and, after a recent reread, this remains my favorite of the bunch.
"The Firm" is about a young lawyer named...

Pros: The story is fast paced and believable. The characters are for the most part well written.
Cons: Style problems and loose ends give this away as being one of Grisham's earlier works. His romanticism does less for me than his more realistic recent work.
This being a visual age we're living in, most people were probably introduced to John Grisham by the film version of his first big hit, "The Firm". The success of both book and film propelled Grisham to the forefront of fiction writing and has...

Pros: Good theme. Fast Pace.
Cons: But the plot wanders after some time. Inconsistencies.
Introduction Last few weeks have been excellent for me in terms of reading novel. Due to vacation season, I have been on constant travel and a must in every travel is a novel. So this time it was John Grisham's The Firm. I was recommended this ...

Pros: Fast pace, easy reading, great characters
Cons: Needs a sequel or two
The Firm is John Grisham's second novel and his breakthrough book into main stream, best-seller status. In fact, so many people who read it were so impressed with this lawyer-turned-author, that they went back and read his first book Pelican...

Pros: Great book, full of twists and turns
Cons: Nothing
I am a huge Grisham fan, and have read most of his books. For some reason I never got around to read this one until this last weekend. It was a great book. For those of you who have seen the movie, the book is much better. It has a different ending,...

Pros: great story, good villains, cool ending
Cons: characters are pretty one-dimensional, but who cares!
John Grisham took two elements of our society which had been done to death in books and movies -- the Mafia and the legal thriller -- and turned it into one of the most memorable stories I've ever read.
Along with Mitch McDeere, the protagonist, you...

Pros: Very intriguing storyline. Excellent narration. What do you expect from a NY bestseller?
Cons: It's a bit dull in the beginning, but it's his style, I have no complains.
It started out with Mitch McDeere, a fresh Harvard law graduate, in a dilemma. He has many job offerings, the pay was good, but there was one that caught his attention. Bendini, Lambert & Locke offered $80,000 plus bonuses, low-interest mortgage and a ...

Pros: Easy to read, exciting story line
Cons: unable to put it down until the book was finished
Well, another John Grisham book, another glowing opinion.
I made the mistake of seeing the movie after reading the book. Suffice to say, Grisham's books are FAR better than the movies that are based upon them. To make a 90-120 minute movie out...

Pros: Great plot, plenty of action
Cons: Confusing at times
If you're one of those people who watch the movie rather than read the book, then you're missing out on a lot of the story!
John Grisham has wrote a tale here of a young lawyer who gets caught up in a company full of secrets and lies. I've...

Pros: Awesome novel. Awesome.
Cons: Nothing I can think of...
I would have to say that The Firm is one of Grisham's most well-known, best novel. I mean, I really like the others; in fact, Grisham is one of my favorite authors. But there is something about The Firm that is different. The first contact I had with...
