The Firm

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is the first book that I've read by John Grisham, and I am very anxious to read another one. I think that it's a very easy book to read when you're tired and you need to take your mind off daily troubles, the story really grabs you and I found it difficult to put the book down.

Summary: Not All It's Cracked Up To Be
Review: This is the first John Grisham novel I've read, and I'm not impressed. It's exciting enough, but overall the plot was implausible. I agree with one of the other reviewers who said that the book would have been better (and I would say, more believable) if Mitch McDeere had cooperated with the authorities. I mean, how easy can it really be to run from both the FBI and the Mob? The premise (of a low-profile, high-powered law firm that fronts for the Mafia) is interesting, but Grisham could have done a better job with it.
