This is my first John Grisham book. What? Don't give me that look; it was never the right time. Now because of the Book Review Blog Challenge, I finally dusted off this popular book from my TBR. (It might also have to do with the fact that I am currently binge-watching 'Suits'). So, did I join the fan club? Not really, I will need some more books to decide on that.
I have mixed feelings about this novel. According to one of the rankings I have seen, 'The Firm' is ranked twelfth in all Grisham's novels. I may have to agree with that now. The story was not as thrilling as I thought, partly due to the detached third-person narrative. I was never really worried about Mitch, just had this hunch that he will make it through. But by the time I reached the middle, the novel had me hooked.
A firm where no one is allowed to leave, unless in a coffin. It is a typical Godfather situation, aside from the fact that we are against them. That being said, I do really hope that the real FBI is much more capable, what I got here is not a favourable picture. I loved the way the story progressed with Mitch's crooked brain churning out ideas that quite surprised me. On the whole, a quick and easy read even with its massive size.
