THE ASSOCIATE
Written by: John Grisham
Suspenseful, gripping, nail-biting. Grisham at his finest. If you are looking for that simple, but in your face, action-packed prose, this is the book for you. There are a couple of stretches that get extremely technical, plenty of lawyer talk, but for the most part, this book entices. I read it quickly, loving the characters and the predicament. This has a lot of similarities to spy novels if that’s something that interests you. I know I enjoyed the back and forth between good and evil.
An upcoming lawyer blackmailed into spying on one of the biggest law firms in the world. Kyles life is falling apart when his past and his present are clashing and creating a dismal future.
One excellent book. If you are looking for a good legal thriller and have the patience for a longer book, this is for you. A friend of mine came to me with this book, and I had to read it. I guess if I had to scale this book, 8/10. I don’t have many complaints, the biggest being the protagonist was kind of a pushover from time to time. In some scenes, he had brass and vigor, and in other scenes, he was on the verge of pissing his pants. I wasn’t impressed with the ending. I don’t want to spoil the ending you may read it, but it wasn’t for me. Don’t let my opinion of two pages persuade you not to read the rest.
