Yet another John Grisham book I couldn't put down. I love, love, love his law stories. 24 hours after I picked it up I'm done...and waiting impatiently for the next one.
This book was surprisingly light and humorous! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
If I didn't feel so compelled to finish any book I start I would have been done with this book pretty early on. I kept hoping it would improve, but it didn't. This was my first John Grisham book, and though I've heard good things about him I have no intention of reading any of his other books after this.
Tort litigation gets a big ol' yawn from me! I enjoyed the characters, but if I'm willing to put it down and start another book, this book must not be amazing. I skimmed the last third of the book to see how the story lines were resolved. The Litigators IS an improvement over whatever Grisham put out before this one, but overall, I'm unimpressed.
The Litigators by John Grisham has been in my (virtual) shelf for quite some time before I decided to give it a go last week. The story was interesting from page 1 where we are introduced to David Zinc, 31, is a corporate lawyer who has spent most of the past five years slaving at Rogan Rothberg, a Chicago firm until finally he snaps. After spending all day at a bar and swearing that he will never work at such a place he stumbles into a boutique two-man law firm Finley & Figg. Finley & Figg is run by Oscar Finley, Wally Figg, the secretary, Rochelle and the firm dog, AC. Finley & Figg is nowhere near the Rogan Rothberg league but at least now David Zinc is able to enjoy the sunlight and go home to his beautiful wife in time. What David Zing experiences next at Finley & FIgg is quite an adventure.
There is no mystery or intrigue in this John Grisham book. It's about some lawyers who are really bad at their job who try their hand at doing a class action on a drug, and their bumbling misadventures going about it. I did finish it, so that's something, but it's probably not worth reading. I just kind of wanted to see how everything turned out for them.
Finley and Figg, two ambulance chasing, middle aged failures of lawyers take centre stage in this legal thriller. It felt more like a comedy at times, watching the two hopeless lawyers attempt to navigate their first federal case against a pharmaceutical company. By the time we reach the trial at the end of the novel, there's not much sympathy left for either side.
Still, it was an entertaining read and I will definitely pick up another of Grisham's books.

When I started reading this book I had a really hard time getting into it. It did not seem like other books that I had ready by John Grisham. Although I have to say its been quite a few years since I have read anything by John Grisham. I found this at a dollar store for $3 so figured I would give it a try. I really had to push myself to continue reading it. However, once I got a bit further into the book I began enjoying it a bit more definitely not one of my favorite John Grisham books but still notable and I did finish it.
