Default The Associate by Grisham

Just finished his newest and enjoyed it, however ending was unsatisfactory. Perhaps it's true that you are supposed to leave them wanting more but too many things still in the air. Also I hope that the treatment of new lawyers is nothing like described (billing 100 hrs wkly).
Still all in all it was an easy, drew me back read. Give it a try.

My take on The Associate is that it is shades of Grisham's books, The Firm and Playing for Pizza.

I like the moral dilemma presented, but not sure I totally buy it:-)

Agree with you Herb that it is an easy read and hope the same about the treatment of new lawyers!
