Yesterday I finished The Associate by John Grisham, his latest legal thriller. This book harkens back, and is very similar to The Firm, his first novel.
Kyle McAvoy is the main character, a recent Yale Law School graduate. He is blackmailed into spying on the country's largest law firm, Scully & Pershing. They are representing one side in a bitter battle over a multi-billion pentagon contract, and the other side stops at nothing to uncover documents and secrets that could help them win. Kyle is sucked into this spy game.
Ok, that's the plot. The character development is shallow, the story is weak, and the ending leaves you with "that's it?" Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed. I believe Grisham has exausted his creativity and origionality. Stick to nonfiction and biographical fiction, Grisham.
Now it's on to A Darker Place by Jack Higgins.
