Just finished reading The Associate by John Grisham. I haven’t read a Grisham book in a long time. I had moved over to James Patterson – thank to my dad. But I picked up a copy of the Associate at the local library and read through it very quickly. The book is about a Yale Law School student who is influenced to impact a major Federal case from inside the world’s largest law firm. It is set in downtown Manhattan, on Broad Street, which provides a nice point of interest for me since I worked on Broad Street for so many years.
I enjoyed the book – it has the usual Grisham style of keeping you turning page after page, long after you were supposed to get up and do something else. The ending is a little disappointing however, as the true story of what happenned is not told. Just left to your imagination. But overall the book is certainly worth a read if you are a fan of Grisham’s prior legal mysteries.
