Nothing firm in The Firm. Review on Firm, The - John Grisham

This is the second book that I read, by John Grisham, the first being The Last Juror. I started off reading Grisham's books because I was told by many that he writes only books pertaining to law. I have a certain liking towards the law, whether it be Indian or the juducial system of any other country. Reading the first book, I found a trace of the law in the book, in the way that Danny Padgitt is tried for rape, found guilty and sentenced, period. The rest of the book is about a man (I dont remember his name, as it has been a long time since I read the book) who is in the newspaper business, and blah blah blah the story goes. I dont have anything against any writer writing about law and putting in other things too, but the other things should also be interesting.

In this novel, we find Mitch McDeere (a lawyer thankfully) along with teacher wife Abby, joins Bendini, Lambert and Locke, a euphimism for this is The Firm. The firm also, is a taxation law firm. Now this boy is given all the luxuries on the planet for joining the firm, he gets a house, a BMW, a relief off his loans etc etc etc to join the firm. After this, the law scene ends. Yeah, there r some incidents when Mitch is asked to write briefs etc etc but there is no actualy law involved, since he is working on sweat files (files which are legal). The limelight shifts to the owners of the firm, The morolto family, one of the mafia. Hence begins the quest of Mitch, when he learns from some fibbies that the firm actually deals with the money laundering and n other illegal stuff of the family. He decided to help the fibbies and hence ends up heling them, thus, the firm owners are indicted and sentenced. BAM WHAM, end of the story. To top that all, the story goes on for 400 long pages, and as u can guess is not a very interesting read. There were times when I simply thought about abandoning the book, but as ill luck would have it, I havent done that to any book till date. The storyline of this book (if I can call it that) starts interestingly enough and goes on till about a fourth of the part, after that, the story gets boring....boring....booooring finally till the most boring end which is so so s predictable, that anyone could guess, by reading the summary at the back only.
