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. 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?

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. E nonostante Grisham sia amato dalla settima musa, il film, più volte annunciato, con Mark Whalberg protagonista, non è mai stato realizzato. With barely suppressed excitement, Guy made his daily call to Washington.He actually closed his eyes and smiled when he uttered the words, "It’s him."His voice was an octave higher. They found him much thinner, down considerably from the two hundred and thirty pounds he’d been carrying when last seen.His hair and skin were darker, his chin had been squared, and his nose had been slightly pointed.Subtle changes to the face.They’d paid a steep bribe to the surgeon in Rio who’d performed the alterations two and a half years earlier. I thought this was a highly entertaining legal thriller--implausible maybe, but who cares as long as it's fun?--until the very end. It lost a whole star with that ending. If you're going to pull off a twist like that, it needs some additional foundation. Foreshadowing. Something.I finished reading this book within 3 days, a gripping story which full of twists and the unexpected. Here’s my 5 cent review... When the van stopped on a dusty road near a farm field, Danilo uttered his first words."What do you want?" he asked, in Portuguese.

The Partner: A Novel - Kindle edition by Grisham, John

The reason I like John Grisham is because he writes very thrilling books. John Grisham has an ability to capture the reader into a net full of mysteries, which always keep me on edge.

Plot: What's the story about?

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. A man is hiding out in Brazil under an assumed identity.

Shortly afterwards ninety million dollars had disappeared from a client.....It's only a matter of time before the man is found and positively identified, but who will get to him first?

It's not a courtroom drama but more about how the protagonist uses the system & legal maneuvers to get himself out of trouble. 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.
