The Associate (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" Barely good enough to keep me amused in planes and taxis... but was glad to have it for that purpose. "

" In fairness, I listened to this one as an audio book, but I still felt disappointed. I insist my audio books have detectives/suspense for the sake of easily keeping my attention. Despite legal "drama," I barely made it to the end. Not suggested for trips you want to stay awake during. "

" Extremely disappointed. "

" This book while interesting and fast moving, left me wanting more at the end.. Too much left hanging.. "

" Perfect escape book for the hectic Christmas season. Total escape. John Grisham does know how to intrigue and keep pages turning... "

" Typical Grisham. It's a good book to take (and leave) on an airplane. I didn't think it was a good as some of his other books. "

" I have read most of Grisham's books and while this one kept me interested....it left me hanging at the end. "

" One of Grisham's better lawyer books of late, though I thought the ending was a little flat. "

" This had me engrossed until the end. The end was horrible in my opinion. Grisham returned to his prior page-turning writing such as in runaway jury, the client, and the firm, but then fumbled the ending. It's a shame because it was a fairly interesting plot too. "

" Enjoyed this one all the through and am glad he didn't attempt to tie up all the loose ends the way he did in The Firm (dumb ending). He has never been able to write another one like A Time to Kill----his absolute best, by far. "

" Sadly, I was still bored by page 70 and returned it to the library. Although Grisham has proven he is a good writer, I guess I am just not a fan anymore. This book appears to be equally well written, it just did not catch my interest. "

" The usual. Always an easy read. "

" Typical Grisham novel, but I like Grisham. Certainly gives me pause to think about encouraging my son to go to law school. "

" Sadly, this was a disappointment. The book started with a bang, immediately grabbing my attention and then just sputtered to its last page. I don't need a Hollywood ending, but this pretty much just stopped with loose ends hanging everywhere and no explanation of the central issues. "

" Well this was my first Grisham, so maybe this is why I loved it so much and simply couldn't put it down till it finished. Very captivating, summits in the end, energy is high all the way. "

" The Grisham template but still a page turner. "

" A typical fast paced Grisham read...pretty good "

" Better than his latest works, but I thought the end was a cop-out. I don't like the trend that some writers are turning to where the actual answers "don't matter." They do! "

" I need more of the story, it ends too soon! "

" Always love a Grisham... "

" It is a bit lame and not so addicting. "

" Terrific. I hope there is a sequel. On the level of The Firm. "

" Didn't like the ending, too many loose ends unless there is a part two to this story. But still a good read. "

" This book was entertaining, but I was really disappointed in the ending. It leaves a lot of unanswered questions. "

" Rather lame; hardly one of Grishom's best....... "

" Quick, fun read. Grisham is still my guilty pleasure. "

" This book is classic Grisham, with shades of "The Firm". However, the ending leaves you kinda unsatisfied "

" Very interesting read, until I got to the ending, which was very disappointing. Maybe the movie will leave less of a vacuum. John, just slow down, and try to remember how you used to conclude your books. "

" I don't think I've ever been pissed at an author before but I feel the second half of this book is missing. "

" Kind of slow-going and a disappointing ending. "

" It was OK - it started well and progressed well throughout the book. I feel like it ended abruptly and without dealing with many issues. The ending read like a term paper whose author rushed to complete it under a speedy deadline. "

" My first Grisham read. It paints an ugly picture of big law firms. A fun summer read. "

" I am not a huge Grisham fan but thought I'd try another. He is obviously well-versed on the legal profession. I wonder if Wall Street is really that brutal?? An interesting story which left lots of loose ends- perhaps will be a movie - with a sequel! "

" I added 3 stars only because I have enjoyed most of previous novels of Grisham.This one takes too much time to build the suspense, and then quickly brings to cliamx to you , even that withou unveiling the suspense. *** "

" This isn't classic Grisham by any means. This book didn't get me worked up wondering what would happen next as did Grisham's older books. The book wasn't horrible but it wasn't what you expect of the author. "

" This book is about something you did in your past that causing you troubles in the future. This book opens our eyes about how dirty the big law firm played their roles. I can't stop reading this book. "
