The Firm

This book, The Firm, was written by John Grisham. This book is a legal drama. I chose this book because I have read some other books by John Grisham that I have really liked.

In this book Mitch McDeere, a top law school graduate, chooses to sign on with the law firm Bendini, Lambert, & Locke. He would soon learn that that was his biggest mistake. After passing the bar exam Mitch is confronted by an FBI agent, Wayne Terrance. Terrance tells Mitch that Bendini, Lambert, & Locke's biggest client is Joey Morolto. Morolto is one of the biggest organized crime bosses. Terrance also says that they are planning on taking down "the firm" and will need Mitch's help. As the book progresses, Mitch and Abby, Mitch's wife, learn that nothing is personal and they may just have to help the FBI. By helping the FBI though they run the risk of losing their life. They must find a way where they can keep their lives and stop the Bendini law firm.

One thing I liked about this book was the decisions Mitch and Abby had to face. I liked this because if they made a wrong move it could cost them their lives. Also I liked how they had to find a way to try and save their lives without being caught by the FBI or the Morolto's. I would recommend this book to people ages 12 and older who like adventure and lawyers.
