ferrisscottr 's review for:
The Litigators
by John Grisham
Finley & Figg are street lawyer ambulance chasers - caricature's of real lawyers - incompetent to the nth degree. David Zinc is a corporate lawyer in a huge highly successful firm. They all come together and become partners through a series of slap stick circumstances and high stakes litigation.
For the vast vast majority of this book it was a solid two star book. The levels of incompetence of these lawyers made them unbelievable and Grisham, who usually shines with his character work, didn't do anything to make the book better by making one dimensional characters that were hard to cheer for.
He brought it all together in the end and had a rather satisfying conclusion so I'll bump it up to three stars but this really is the bottom of the barrel as far as Grisham goes (I usually consider him to be one of the finest writers around).
If you are a completionist then go ahead and give it a read but if you are just looking for a good legal thriller than I can recommend at least 25 better Grisham books.
