John Grisham's The Litigators


Over the holidays I read quite a few books that I purchased through 2011 but had not had a time to read. It was a GREAT pleasure to take the time to READ and RELAX.

The Litigators explores the career path of a lawyer in a small firm, large firm and in private practice. In this novel, John Grisham shares with the reader the LIFESTYLE of a lawyer. The story line and characters bring about a clear example of the pros and cons of working in each type of legal office. His characters demonstrate the large financial gains that come from working in a large firm but the endless pressure that comes with the financial reward. His characters demonstrate the financial risk of working in a small firm or on your own.

This story begs the reader to cheer for the young associate who gives up the rat race of the large law firm to find success. He has a passion for practicing law but does not like the fact that the large firm has taken away his "life". His ideals and desire to do the right thing are honorable. He gave up guaranteed wealth for a future that is not guaranteed. The reader is compelled to keep reading to find out if his story will have a happy ending.

This legal thriller delves into the world of class action lawsuits and the cut throat mentality of the corporate world. If you know a lawyer and have knowledge of the industry, you'll identify with the story and enjoy each and every page!
