Book Thoughts "The Associate" by John Grisham

For me this one was just ok. Grisham was obviously going for the same feel as he had in "The Firm," one of my favorite books ever, but he just didn't pull it off this time. Even the jacket makes the connection.

There were some good moments, and some good tension throughout. However, I just didn't like the ending much at all. It was like, "You spent the entire book building all this tension and that's IT?" I was looking to see if I bought a bad copy that was missing the last several chapters. I read another review that said it was like he got tired of writing and just wrapped it up as fast as possible. I can really see that.

Not a bad book, and you can't win them all. Still I expect better from Grisham, especially when it comes to the payoff. The is probably my least favorite of his.
