The legal firm in this book is a horrible place. I only wanted the lead character to find a way out, but it took too long to be very enjoyable. This is one of the volumes that made me suspicious of any long book. ( ![]() First edition fine Of all Grisham's novels, The Firm is one of his best. Engaging, evocative and filled with surprises, it takes the reader on a journey into the 'dark' world of a law firm immersed in illegitimate enterprise, aka paradox. I read this book when it first came out, so memory of details isn't spot on. That said, the film adaptation has been one of my favorites, Tom Cruise aside :) Regardless, I'm a fan of Grisham's storytelling, his remarkable knowledge of law, trials, and all things associated. Very dumb and not worth the amount of time I spent on it, close to pulp fiction…nonetheless I was entertained for most of the book. It gets points for that alone. Otherwise it was not good stuff: it led me to basically no introspection, I walk away no richer in thought or experience than I was at the start. But it was fine for a time-killer. 2.5 stars I guess. I read this book a long time ago, and don't remember much about it, except that I liked it a lot, which isn't unusual as I liked all of his books. no reviews | add a review
