The Associate

Title: The Associate
Author: John Grisham
Publisher: Arrow Books
Year Published: 2009

I am a fan of J.G. so there’s no doubt that I would make this as one of my collections. The Associate brought back the memory of the book that made the author famous and defined the legal thriller genre: The Firm.

This novel taught us that everybody has secrets and that secrets might haunt you back should it be revealed to the wrong persons.

Kyle McAvoy, the main character, portrayed the young, idealistic law graduates, almost every legal student dreamed of becoming at the beginning of their terms and fading towards the end of it. H/ever, his past history, when we were so young, reckless and stupid, haunted him back.

We can’t just erase our history. Should we have a dark secret, better keep it to ourselves. I hope this one will make it to the silver screen. Along with the King of Torts and The Innocent Man.
