book review THE FIRM


Hey there,

I have been reading the really enthralling book The Firm by John Grisham. It is his second novel and  1.5 million copies were sold. The story is about Mitchell McDeere a bright ambitious young man married to his early love Abby Sutherland. After graduating the third in his class at Harward Law School he gets offers from some big and well-known firms in New York and Chicago. However, he rejects these offers in favor of the tax law firm Bendini, Lumbert and Locke located in Memphis. He is not able to resist the large salary, the lease on a new car and the low interest mortgage on a house offered to him.  Just before Mitchell starts at the company two colleagues die in a diving accident.  The senior partners seem to be proud of the fact that nobody has every resigned. The only ones who left the firm did so in coffins. Becoming more and more suspicious Mitchell hires Eddie Lomax a private detective who should investigate the deaths and find out what really has happened. Lomax found out that the deaths of the atternoys happened under suspicious circumstances and no details of their deaths are shown up anywhere. The day Mitchell receive this report Lomax is murdered. After that Mitchell becomes more and more involved in the dubious methods of the firm and find himself in a labyrinth of violence, hate and danger…
I won’t reveal more details. You should read it yourself it is worth!

Enjoy!
