Critic reviews

Praise for The Firm, John Grisham’s iconic legal thriller

“Grisham is an absolute master.”—The Washington Post

“Taut, fast and relentless.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“Keeps the reader hooked . . . From the creepy first chapters . . . to the vise-tightening midsection and on to the take-the-money-and-run finale.”—The Wall Street Journal

“[An] ingenious man-in-the-middle thriller.”—Entertainment Weekly

The narrator is the only highlight

So incredibly bad. Just skip it. if you do choose to forage ahead, get ready for terrific character development for people you don't need to know and a predictable story that leads nowhere.

Worst Grisham novel !

I have read all his novels and listened to many of them numerous times. Don’t waste your credit on this one.

Tired

It was tired, and I am now tired. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but I was expecting more…

Disappointed

Fluff about raising $$ to ransom a character you care nothing about. Was expecting a story.

A major disappointment

I was so looking forward to this book. As it went on, I was anticipating a twist, but then it just…ended. I fear that John Grisham has gone the way of Danielle Steele, and just churns books out for the money.
