The Firm

I must say unlike many people I wasn’t much impressed by John Grisham in his book “The Rainmaker” and have always considered Dan Brown to be a better writer. But all this changed as soon as I started reading the masterpiece. A fast paced thriller with loads of turns, it made me read an extra hour each night. The book was so captivating that it refused to leave my brain while I was sleeping. Before I praise it even more, better to go through the summary first.

A broke Harvard law graduate Mitch, gets a dream job offer. The firm which is run by the mafia has many secrets embedded in it. If you join it once then there is no turning back. And if you try then you will never make it alive. The story is how Mitch found out the truth and his escapade of survival.

The pace with which the book moves is simply amazing. Once you start this journey there is no escape from it until you finish the book. Sometimes you read a book for its literary marvel and sometimes you just read it for the great story teller who wrote it. A perfect read for a long train journey.
