LOVED this book - so smart and witty and edge-of-your-seat reading with lots of twists and turns. I'm torn about giving this 4 or 5 stars because the ending of this book taunts me in an intriguing and enjoyably annoying way...
I do own Grisham books, but only because family members keep buying them for me on birthday's and xmas's. I smile politely and thank them, wishing they would include the receipt. I have read this, and i don't recommend it unless you are 10 years old and want to start reading adult fiction. Dull, dull, dull. How this man is a best-selling writer is reflection of today's society's IQ.
"Every decision seemed to be layered with irony." (2.5 stars) THE PARTNER…a fun book. Not very realistic, but it piles on the fun reveals, and the “hero” of the story is a white-collar criminal. Maybe even a Robin Hood, so you can’t get too worked up about his getting away with a crime. And does he really get away with it? The plot is simple, Patrick Lanigan is a lawyer on the Gulf Coast who fakes his own death, and then steals 90 million dollars from his former law firm, three weeks after he i...
Well, John Grisham has done it again. Talk about partners in crime on so many levels! I was shaking my head in utter surprise and disbelief through each chapter. Grisham did not disappoint.Patrick Lanigan (a.k.a. Danilo Silva) has embezzled from his partners at the law firm he worked at. He cleverly faked his death, got plastic surgery and got lost in in another country, living frugally while spreading the stolen money in offshore accounts that could not be tracked. Now, based on a credible tip,...
"After his death, the firm's letterhead properly included him: Patrick S. Lanigan, 1954-1992. He was listed up in the right-hand corner, just above the paralegals. Then the rumors got started and wouldn't stop. Before long, everyone believed he had taken the money and disappeared. After three months, no one on the Gulf Coast believed he was dead. His name came off the letterhead as the debts piled up." (PG. 40)I'm stuck between a 4 or 5 star but it was a criminally amusing, fast-paced thriller.
This is not one of the best Grisham books, but there is enough suspense and drama to make it worth reading. I don't think it has been made into a movie yet although there may be a TV series pending...A man is hiding out in Brazil under an assumed identity. Four years before he had been a partner in a successful law firm in America. By all accounts he was happily married and adored his daughter. But then, he had died in a car accident. Shortly afterwards ninety million dollars had disappeared fro...
Wow! What a cleverly written story! One of the best books I have read in a long, long time. And with a twist of irony at the end. A real page-turner. Loved it.
A man jogging down a lonely road in Brazil is kidnapped and tortured, accused of being Patrick Lanigan, an American lawyer who was thought to have been killed in an automobile accident four years earlier--about the same time that $90 million disappeared from his law firm's offshore account. If he really is Lanigan, everyone wants a piece of him: his former partners, the client that the money came from, his wife, the insurance companies, the feds . . . Everyone. So is this guy really Patrick, and...
Sometimes, John Grisham gives me 'forced' endings. Sometimes, I would imagine him going: "When's the deadline again? Holy sh*t, there's only a week left!"or"I'm already near my page limit, let me just squeeze everything in the last remaining pages."or"Let me just finish these in 2 chapters so I could go back to *insert hobby/party/gathering/person here*"Quite juvenile thoughts for a well-published writter but just humor me here okay.That being said, this is the first John Grisham book that didn'...
I finished reading this book within 3 days, a gripping story which full of twists and the unexpected. Here’s my 5 cent review...Luck was always on his side, his plans were well thought out, and they turned out to be perfectly schemed, and he finally succeed in buying his way out of jail, the punishment he always wanted to avoid, a nightmare to him. Started with how brilliantly he faked his death, ran away with his ex-firm’s USD 90 million and lived on the run for four years in Brazil, fell in lo...
Brilliant strategizing, excellent suspense, but FRUSTRATING AND SAD ENDING.REVIEWER’S OPINION:I love Grisham’s writing style. I was engaged all the way through. There was good action and a lot of suspense. By the end I was amazed, impressed, and intrigued with all the planning, strategizing, and how things worked out. It may not be believable but it was fun. Then the ending was frustrating and unhappy. I WANT HAPPY ENDINGS. Unfortunately that was my only problem with the book. I loved the experi...
This isn't Grisham's finest work.There is none of the action of The Firm or The Pelican Brief. It doesn't have the interest of A Time To Kill or The Chamber. The book starts at the end and then explains what happened. Remember, "Show, don't tell?"It's a dull story about what happens when you steal a lot of money, and how to keep it hidden. Why not start at the beginning and show what led to the crime and then the escape from justice?A good editor, agent or publisher should have reminded Grisham
The Partner by John Grisham is an excellent short story read. It doesn’t take John Grisham very long to show what an extremely talented writer he is!📚
