I probably felt that way because I was so anxious to see how the plan played out. I think it was brilliant how Mitch uncovered the crime and corruptions of The Firm.

The Firm was the first Grisham novel that I tried, and I suspect that is the case for many of his fans. Over the years I've returned to it a few times, and with this Kindle edition I decided to re-visit yet again, particularly since I've since seen the movie a few times as well. I was curious to see how wel
