This book makes you wonder what you would have done if you were Mitch, as he tries to keep his bosses, the Mafia, from finding out about him talking to the FBI.

He's now out with his latest, The Exchange. It's a sequel to 1991's The Firm, which was the book that turned Grisham into a writing star. When I asked him why, after all this time, is he revisiting The Firm, he simply said: "Well, we're always trying to angle a way to sell more books."Juliette Lewis as Tamara Inez "Tammy" Hemphill [14] [15] Ray McDeere's girlfriend [8] and Mitch's secretary The American south has long been a point of interest to historians as it was the place where slavery once boomed and racisim ran rampant. Although the land has been a place of much turmoil, some positive things have arisen for it, as it was in Jonesboro, Arkansas that John Grisham was born. He arrived in the world on February 8, 1955, when cotton was still a major product of the south. His father happened to be a cotton farmer at the time. As a lawyer, Grisham also made changes, switching from being a tax lawyer to trial lawyer, stating a dislike for the burdensome “complexity and lunacy” tax lawyers often face. His career as a trial lawyer was never fated to last long as well. Having graduated from law school in 1983, Grisham was elected to his state’s House of Representatives that same year, serving the Democratic Party until 1990. His legal practice lasted a decade.

The book makes you want to read it to find out how Mitch gets himself out of his little problems and also his final big problem. I like the way John Grisham makes Mitch seem like a normal person, and then he becomes smarter than everyone around him. A week and half ago we had to have him at the camp by 9 am which meant we had to be on the road by 6 a.m. to make it there with no time to spare. *on a side note...the camp is located on the Oregon coast. The camp owns 2 miles of beach.* After we dropped him off we started heading home along the coastline. Roberts, Roxanne and Amy Argetsinger (September 13, 2011).

A small, by New York standards, legal firm in Memphis woes Mitch to join the firm. The money being offered is well above what other bigger and more prestigious firms are offering. So with this carrot in front of him Mitch joins the firm. Mitch obviously hasn’t heard the expression “if it sounds too good to be true it most likely is”. So much for his high IQ. The FBI insists that Mitch's new firm is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the mob. The Fibbies want McDeere to become their inside informant to help them bring down the firm. If he won't, the agents tell him that when the firm does go down, Mitch will be convicted as a willing participant in the firm's illegal activities. As I read, I could feel Mitch's growing uneasiness which he fails to express to his wife Abby. But they both ignore these warnings and Mitch goes ahead and joins the firm. Sometimes certain things take their own course, probably what is termed as destiny. a b Andreeva, Nellie (February 3, 2012).

Retrieved February 3, 2012.Marilyn Stasio of The New York Times wrote that "Mr. Grisham, a criminal defense attorney, writes with such relish about the firm's devious legal practices that his novel might be taken as a how-to manual for ambitious tax-law students." [6] The dialogue was rather stilted at times, and conversations often went into far too much minute detail. There was some repetition of material.
