I was a bit on the youngish side to feel interested in The Firm back when it captured the American public's imagination as the "It" book of 1991. The Firm ushered in the legal thriller as a bonafide fictional genre, so that since that time, many authors have used the legal thriller as their career's...
This is the story of Mitch McDeere, fresh out of law school, who joins a small Memphis tax firm for the money and the perks, only to discover he should have paid more attention to the fine print, such as the fact that no lawyer has ever the left the firm alive.It's a legal mystery-thriller that scor...
I had some trouble wrapping my mind around the premise of this novel, where a young lawyer gets involved with a mobbed-up law firm. Third in in his class at Harvard Law and on law review? He'd spend his first year post-law school as a Supreme Court clerk and then surely move on to some famous, estab...

Quintessential Grisham - small guy toughing it out in a big organization, something happens, small guy goes against the big organization and the just pure awesomeness weaving in and out of tight situations and relief at the same time.

I’ve always been a big mystery fan and you can’t read mysteries without knowing John Grisham. I fell in love with his legal thrillers after reading only one of his books and made a vow to read all of his work. While I enjoyed the first two I’ve read, this one was a letdown.Everything worked. The sto...
The pacing was good, and the plot was interesting, but I felt that Grisham failed his characters miserably by trying to force them to be what they weren't. It's been over 15 years since I've read this book, but I'll never forget the scene where the federal agents, who had been infiltrating the firm...
