( )Starts off well, but then falls apart — in my opinion — during the last third of the story. I don't really care for Grisham's too-clever-by-half hero types who outwit everyone around them and disappear with a big haul of cash to retire on. McDeere vs. the Firm? Great. McDeere vs. the FBI? Bleah. I should not have read this so soon after The Client. They have way too much in common, not the least of which being the incessant repetition of the phrase, "the mob never forgets." That said, it's still an okay legal thriller. Not great, but it helped the commute go by. A classic. This book has it all - fast-moving plot, characters you care about, some surprises in the end. it is not the best book Grisham has ever written but i was a wonderful one. The way events unfolded hem themselves was typical way of Grisham writing his books. out of ten (10) i rate it 6 no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 044021145X, Mass Market Paperback)At the top of his class at Harvard Law, he had his choice of the best in America. He made a deadly mistake. When Mitch McDeere signed on with Bendini, Lambert & Locke of Memphis, he thought he and his beautiful wife, Abby, were on their way. The firm leased him a BMW, paid off his school loans, arranged a mortgage and hired him a decorator. Mitch McDeere should have remembered what his brother Ray -- doing fifteen years in a Tennessee jail -- already knew. You never get nothing for nothing. Now the FBI has the lowdown on Mitch's firm and needs his help. Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place, with no choice -- if he wants to live.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:22 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
