About this product

Product Information

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the master of legal thrillers, a page-turning classic of "suit-and-dagger suspense" ( The New York Times ): At the top of his class at Harvard Law, Mitch McDeere had his choice of the best firms in America. He made a deadly mistake. Don't miss John Grisham's new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM! For a young lawyer on the make, it was an offer Mitch McDeere couldn't refuse: a position at a law firm where the bucks, billable hours, and benefits are over the top. It's a dream job for an up-and-comer--if he can overlook the uneasy feeling he gets at the office. Then an FBI investigation into the firm's connections to the Mafia plunges the straight and narrow attorney into a nightmare of terror and intrigue. With no choice but to pit his wits, ethics, and legal skills against the firm's deadly secrets--if he hopes to stay alive...

The thrilling novel that made Grisham a household name.
PLOT: Mitch McDeere is fresh out of Havard Law School with an ambitious attitude and the will to succeed. He receives the best job offers from the largest firms in the country, but a small firm out of Memphis brings him in with the best pay, a new home, relief of his student loans, and a new BMW. Within his first week at the firm, two of his coworkers are killed in a mysterious explosion off the coast of Grand Cayman Island. This makes him suspicious and later finds out that five lawyers have died in the past fifteen years, all very suspicious. An encounter with an FBI agent investigating the firm arouses his curiousity with the security of the firm and starts to unravel a downward spiral of crime, corruption, danger, and possibly death.

GENRE: Drama-Suspense STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Grisham's character development is perfect in a sense where you know the characters, but not too well. The predictability of the book is impossible as well as the ability to put it down. The scene changes act as a stimulant for the reader, not elaborating one part of the book too much. Grisham did a supurb job in entailing drama, suspense, and humor into his work. This book was the first of Grisham's I read and it will not be the last.

John Grisham the Firm
This is yet another John Grisham Great, he is my favorite author. John Grisham an attorney turn Best Selling flair has a nack for telling a stroy like no other. I wonder if he learned this in Law School, or telling stories in front of Juries? The Story in the Firm is about a recent Law School Gaudurate whom goes to work for the law firm from He**. They do everything illegal and controling you can imagine including bugging his house. The story as other Grisham keeps taking turn until they all blend together at the right point. Just like a trial lawyer trying a case in front of a jury.This is yet another John Grisham Great, he is my favorite author.

The Firm
All the elements to make a hard-hitting melodrama of corruption (with FBI and Mafia aspects present) are unfolded here in a gripping yarn from John Grisham's novel. Tom Cruise is excellent as a young man who joins a small but prosperous law firm, only to discover that all the perks he enjoys come at great expense to his integrity, not to mention his life. The plot thickens when members of the firm are murdered and Cruise gets drawn into the unmasking of the firm, risking his life to reveal the criminals. Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Holly Hunter and Hal Holbrook all give strong performances, with Hunter fully deserving her Oscar nomination. The pacing is good despite the film's length (well over 2 1/2 hrs.) and there's seldom a dull moment. Especially gripping is the supercharged climax. Not ...

Not having read the book, I see where others are disappointed with the ending. Having no comparison to make, I can only say that it kept me absorbed until the final scene. Definitely a must-see if you enjoy action thrillers with a climactic punch. One of the best films of the '90s, full of suspenseful twists and turns.

I am hooked!!!
I started to read this book immediately, as a Jonathan Kellerman fan, I found Kellerman, long and drawn out only in taking comparison notes of them both, and in reading the "FIRM" it is a wonder why our country is still on "TOP"~! Right off, Mitch..the Harvard Student, just married and looking for his first real job, is taken by the "Philanthropic Group" of lawyers who, unlike any other NON-Union place in the U.S. grants you all they can and they say:"We want our people happy, and unworried" so a BMW is his, and he HAD to choose the color! (Some things really whizz you off!) But he met the all-Important "Partners" and "Ollie" which was the prez of "The Firm"..and if I ever landed a job like that, I would know one thing: I died and went to heaven! But! When things go this good, look ahead, ...

When things go this good, look ahead, take off those blinders, you're tunnell-visioned, and your greediest part of your mind is now bought and "PAID FOR"! Hell, your "Soul" was bought and paid for, as I smelled it, as we approached his first day, and you can [between the first three -3- Chapters,] know that they (The Firm" has reeled in the best of the best for a damned good reason, and the deaths of two Partners of 20 years somehow get killed in an explosing while 'Snorkling" or diving? NAW!...This already stunk like a fish in the sun! I am so glued to this John Grisham Plot that I know why I can't stop thinking of this great deal: $80-80K per year, a new house worth $250,000, the best of schools, a Church of their choice is nearby, the schools are a short walk, and when they said to get rid of his $200 Toyoyta, and a BMW was in his drive, I knew I was hooked. I missed the Movie, and I'm glad, as everyone is asking or saying, :"I saw the movie" or "Did you see the movie"? I couldn't, not do that and enjoy what John Grisham is putting down here in this book, the book goes w/ me wherever I go..and it will be that way until the last page, because, "Bro. I am HOOKED", and it took just over an hour driving to my doctor's while my wife drove us...I was silent, and enthralled, "The Firm" is so damned engrossing that now I know I robbed this book, and all those that ask the pettance for these books, ...OK, I'll see what I can do~!~!~! [hehhehheh]. I am convinced that Grisham, as I saw the "Pelican Brief", had my bowels so loose for the following week that I never thought I was going to be regular again~! He is one heck of-a- illustrationist! He has more than a way of talking and telling a story, he had my mind, and I know I have been hooked by some writings in the past, but, I don't think I blink when I am reading, as when I get to my destination, sitting in the passenger's seat, I have a "clothesline-of-drool" swinging from the edge of the book from my bottom lip. "Grish" was a hell of a lawyer, but didn't like it, so he turned to writing what he knew about, so, I am taking this story, with a good percentage of TRUTH behind it... It's like someone once told me:If it sounds too good to believe, it's because it isn't true, and this is what "Mitchell" neglected to see, he never questioned :"WHY"??? There was his downfall...as I noticed he was promised to become a "partener, once he got his License for Practicing, he would soon be gived a hefty 6-figure salary,,,[duhhhhh!], but, on his first days, he has so much work piled on him, I do NOT think he will be seeing the "SHINGLE" for a while, as for the Firm? Tthat would be quite an expense~!...Tonka
