On the other hand, if a man wears a sharp, expensive suit, he is likely a slimy, big-business bad guy." I had to laugh out loud at this, it is so TRUE! I was about to buy this at the airport the other day and then in the end went for Playing for Pizza, I have heard it is a bit different from his other books?Much Adohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034590806354970188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-7859195061960764312008-05-15T12:40:00.000-04:002008-05-15T12:40:00.000-04:00I'm #92 of #111 on the waiting list at the library...I'm #92 of #111 on the waiting list at the library for this book. :-) I have a feeling I'm going to agree with your review but I want to read it anyway. I really liked his first bunch of books but then not the last few. So we'll see.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16702528111724344152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-91808757016137529062008-05-14T19:04:00.000-04:002008-05-14T19:04:00.000-04:00I did like The Firm, too.

He's talented enough to know better, but his judgement was blinded by the cash advances. I would add THE FIRM to the list of good works by Grisham, but that's just because I've worked for a bunch of guys who dress nicely but belong in jail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-4651268987052045482008-05-14T07:48:00.000-04:002008-05-14T07:48:00.000-04:00I agree.
