I am hooked!!!
I started to read this book immediately, as a Jonathan Kellerman fan, I found Kellerman, long and drawn out only in taking comparison notes of them both, and in reading the "FIRM" it is a wonder why our country is still on "TOP"~! Right off, Mitch..the Harvard Student, just married and looking for his first real job, is taken by the "Philanthropic Group" of lawyers who, unlike any other NON-Union place in the U.S. grants you all they can and they say:"We want our people happy, and unworried" so a BMW is his, and he HAD to choose the color! (Some things really whizz you off!)
But he met the all-Important "Partners" and "Ollie" which was the prez of "The Firm"..and if I ever landed a job like that, I would know one thing: I died and went to heaven!
But! When things go this good, look ahead, take off those blinders, you're tunnell-visioned, and your greediest part of your mind is now bought and "PAID FOR"!
Hell, your "Soul" was bought and paid for, as I smelled it, as we approached his first day, and you can [between the first three -3- Chapters,] know that they (The Firm" has reeled in the best of the best for a damned good reason, and the deaths of two Partners of 20 years somehow get killed in an explosing while 'Snorkling" or diving? NAW!...This already stunk like a fish in the sun!
I am so glued to this John Grisham Plot that I know why I can't stop thinking of this great deal: $80-80K per year, a new house worth $250,000, the best of schools, a Church of their choice is nearby, the schools are a short walk, and when they said to get rid of his $200 Toyoyta, and a BMW was in his drive, I knew I was hooked.
I missed the Movie, and I'm glad, as everyone is asking or saying, :"I saw the movie" or "Did you see the movie"?
I couldn't, not do that and enjoy what John Grisham is putting down here in this book, the book goes w/ me wherever I go..and it will be that way until the last page, because, "Bro. I am HOOKED", and it took just over an hour driving to my doctor's while my wife drove us...I was silent, and enthralled,
"The Firm" is so damned engrossing that now I know I robbed this book, and all those that ask the pettance for these books, ...OK, I'll see what I can do~!~!~! [hehhehheh].
I am convinced that Grisham, as I saw the "Pelican Brief", had my bowels so loose for the following week that I never thought I was going to be regular again~! He is one heck of-a- illustrationist! He has more than a way of talking and telling a story, he had my mind, and I know I have been hooked by some writings in the past, but, I don't think I blink when I am reading, as when I get to my destination, sitting in the passenger's seat, I have a "clothesline-of-drool" swinging from the edge of the book from my bottom lip.
"Grish" was a hell of a lawyer, but didn't like it, so he turned to writing what he knew about, so, I am taking this story, with a good percentage of TRUTH behind it...
It's like someone once told me:If it sounds too good to believe, it's because it isn't true, and this is what "Mitchell" neglected to see, he never questioned :"WHY"???
There was his downfall...as I noticed he was promised to become a "partener, once he got his License for Practicing, he would soon be gived a hefty 6-figure salary,,,[duhhhhh!], but, on his first days, he has so much work piled on him, I do NOT think he will be seeing the "SHINGLE" for a while, as for the Firm? Tthat would be quite an expense~!...TonkaRead full review
