Book Reviews of The Associate
Book Review: Grisham appears to be going on a downward curve
Summary: 3 Stars
At a time where Grisham's fans seem to think that they have seen the best of his work, came The Associate. Grisham's novels are starting to have similar storylines and appeals, so reading teh Associate as actually a tad bit refreshing.
I enjoyed the plot, Kyle a fresh young member to the legal fraternity, wityh a bright future ahead of him is haunted by occurances in his not so squeeky clean past.
The novel takes a journey with Kyle as he attempts to secure his future and protect himself, his friends, his family and msot importantly his career against his past.
The novel was fun, but it ended rather abruptly after catching me in the head spin of Kyle's struggles.
Summary of The Associate
If you thought Mitch McDeere was in trouble in The Firm, waituntil you meet Kyle McAvoy, The Associate
Kyle McAvoy grew up in his father's small-town law office in York, Pennsylvania. He excelled in college, was elected editor-in-chief of The Yale Law Journal, and his future has limitless potential.
But Kyle has a secret, a dark one, an episode from college that he has tried to forget. The secret, though, falls into the hands of the wrong people, and Kyle is forced to take a job he doesn't want-even though it's a job most law students can only dream about.
Three months after leaving Yale, Kyle becomes an associate at the largest law firm in the world, where, in addition to practicing law, he is expected to lie, steal, and take part in a scheme that could send him to prison, if not get him killed.
With an unforgettable cast of characters and villains-from Baxter Tate, a drug-addled trust fund kid and possible rapist, to Dale, a pretty but seemingly quiet former math teacher who shares Kyle's "cubicle" at the law firm, to two of the most powerful and fiercely competitive defense contractors in the country-and featuring all the twists and turns that have made John Grisham the most popular storyteller in the world, The Associate is vintage Grisham.
