Date: October 23rd, 2014 7:03 AM Author: aquamarine big set I read A Time to Kill, The Firm, The Rainmaker and another one (The Pelican Brief or The Client, not sure which) in jr high and liked them okay. I picked up The Firm again last year and thought it was crap (and I have a high tolerance for crap genre fiction). Anything I'm missing out on?

Date: October 23rd, 2014 10:03 AM Author: umber lodge yeah
the ending is cool in The Partner, at least I found it cool when I was 16 or whatever I was when I read it |

Date: October 23rd, 2014 11:11 AM Author: Contagious Temple I always wondered why The Partner wasn't made into a movie. it's way better than shit like The Chamber or The Rainmaker (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2707328&forum_id=2#26570836) |

Recently read sycamore row and it was pretty entertaining. I read Grisham because I can't bring myself to read anything mentally taxing on vacation. |

Date: October 23rd, 2014 11:57 AM Author: Bearded Hairy Legs Field The only Grisham I've read so far. I found it so-so. It def kept you on the edge, but felt a bit sloppy, like put together on a weekend. I have a feeling that IRL stories can be more interesting or hilarious than some fabricated out of law school FBI story. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2707328&forum_id=2#26571118) |

Date: October 23rd, 2014 11:16 AM Author: Purple gaping king of torts is really fun reading (struggling PD makes millions in mass tort cases + insider trading), probably the best rags to riches story in the group
the appeal is pretty interesting - follows a billionaire who tries to buy his way onto a state supreme ct
runaway jury is a fun read, better than the movie
