The Firm = my Fav

The book that I really like the most is The Firm by John Grisham. I read this my senior year of high school and honestly I would read it again. Because of this book I read other books by Grisham like The Pelican Brief and The Rainmaker. His books are fast and very detailed. They are all thrillers and are very involved with the laws. For example The Firm is about a new lawyer that gets hired by a firm that has relations to the mafia. The Pelican Brief is about a law student running for her life after she wrote a brief about the murders of supreme court justices that happened to be correct. And yes The Rainmaker is also about law but more in the court room. I can honestly say that while reading the books I gained insight and learned understanding of law and the different aspects of it. My favorite The Firm actually made me decide I never wanted to become a lawyer. The hours they put in their work is monstrous, not to mention all the reading they have to do as well. While reading The Firm I could see the story unfold in my mind through his descriptions. Most importantly thou he did not over describe things. This allowed me to finish building the environment and people with my imagination. There was never a dual moment in that book. With the finish of every chapter I wanted to dive right into the next one. I had to limit myself to two or three chapters a day so I could lengthen the enjoyment of reading the book. I would highly recommend others to read John Grisham's books especially The Firm. Heck it was such a good book that they made a movie of it starring Tom Cruise.
