There is some mild swearing. There is no sexual content apart from some references to nudity. There is some graphic violence including torture scenes which will upset some. Grisham fans may enjoy this, I doubt anyone could have predicted the ending! When burnt-out lawyer David Zinc quits his job at a major corporate firm, a stress-induced nervous breakdown, heavy drinking, and the prospect of unemployment lead him to the doors of the seedy law Continue reading » They watched Danilo Silva for days before they finally grabbed him. He was living alone, a quiet life on a shady street in Brazil; a simple life in a modest home, certainly not one of luxury. Certainly no evidence of the fortune they thought he had stolen. He was much thinner and his face had been altered. He spoke a different language, and spoke it very well. But Danilo had a past with many chapters.

The Partner by John Grisham | Waterstones

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? Grisham’s writing style keeps you engaged at all times & there are not many dull moments in the book. The detailed plans & strategies he executes, the subplots, the suspense elements keeps you hooked till the end. On the eighth day, the dirty cottage emptied as all the Brazilians and all the Americans took their positions. Grisham is a two-time winner of the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction and was honored with the Library of Congress Creative Achievement Award for Fiction. Osmar wanted to grab him.Guy said they’d wait.He vanished on the fourth day, and the dirty little cottage was in chaos for thirty-six hours.I truly enjoyed reading this book. I had a hard time putting it down. It has an unusual twist ending, which was so unexpected. However, I was a little bit disappointed with it.

The Partner by John Grisham | Goodreads

They saw him leave home in the red Beetle.He was in a hurry, came the report. He raced across town to the airport, jumped on a small commuter at the last moment, and was gone.His car was parked in the only lot, and they watched it every second of every hour.The plane was headed in the general direction of Sao Paulo, with four stops in between. 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 experience. The only thing positive about the end was that it was thought provoking. I had to tell myself yes I could see that. But it’s not a story I want to hear. I normally would give this book a below average rating due to the ending, but because the rest was so good, I compromised at 3 stars. For someone who would enjoy smart-thinking, out-thinking others, and a good suspenseful read, go ahead. They found him alone, as best they could tell, though a maid came and went at odd hours during the eight days they hid and watched.Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. M-a amuzat faptul ca in roman toata lumea bea cola dietetica ca si cum s-ar face reclama produsului si consider ca, daca tot consumi asemenea bauturi, atunci s-o faci ca lumea, nu la modul dietetic. Grisham, with his master-storyteller legal thriller form, always plays well on audio. His latest begins with a coyly playful opening scene. Elderly billionaire industrialist Troy Phelan is holding Continue reading » America's most popular author is arguably its most popular crusader as well, tilting his pen against myriad targets, including big law (The Firm, etc.), big tobacco (The Runaway Jury), big insurance Continue reading » There is not a lot to say about THE PARTNER. It is a legal thriller with pleasing (although not unexpected) twists. As far as books in that vein go it is a fine effort. The ending irritated me, but only because it was what I suspected might happen, and I did not want it to. However, in a cosmic justice sense, and in the world of human behavior it is probably perfectly appropriate.

Oh what a tangled web this story weaves. As vrea sa amintesc si de Thiopental de Sodiu - adica 'serul adevarului', ce este folosit pentru marturisiri, in special de psihologi si anchetatori. Este bine de stiut ca acesta este un barbituric cu efect rapid, insa, care trebuie administrat cu foarte mare grija si atentie pentu ca pacientul sa ajunga la nivelul de constienta potrivit, la care sa poate fi supus unui interogatoriu.
