Excellent - even by Grisham's standards. (1/1 people found this helpful)
The Client is a legal thriller written by bestselling author John Grisham, it also now a succesful film. Set in the deep south on a trailer park in Tennessee, it seems an unlikely place to find the only witness to the suicide of a top Mafia lawyer. 11 year old Mark Sway is the unfortunate witness, who is informed of the whereabouts of a the boby of a Mafia murdered U.S. senator.
This is definitely one of the best books written by John Grisham (and that's saying something). It's an enormously easy to read and gripping novel, the pages will just fly by! Mark Sway, despite being a bit of a little brat is a very likeable and engaging character who is clearly terrified of the position he finds himself in. This book also includes some very violent and bloodthirsty villains who want Mark dead!
If your a fan of Grisham you will love this, if your not then you will be once you've read The Client!

I remember the movie on Sky some weeks back, and as with all well written books, it knocks spots off the big screen version. Grisham's portrayal of the eleven year old kid is masterful as he jumps into the kids head in every chapter. Absolutely gripping and highly believable.

easy to read but has a few flaws.
would recommend this for any one who is looking for and easy read.but it never gets going.the excitment is absent the twists are dull and predictable.you constanky wish the temp would pick up but alas it does not.the ending is awful.swift and pointless.

Firstly I must admit to being a John Grisham fan,I have read nearly all of his work. This ranks amongst the best. Two lads are witness to an attempted suicide. One lad attempts to stop the suicde and ends up being caught and dragged into the car with the man. As the fumes fill the car the man tells the boy he was a lawyer for a mafia hit man and proceeds to tell the boy things the FBI would like to know. The boy gets out the car and the man kills himself. It is now a fight between the hit man and the FBI as to who gets control of the boy. A great story full of tension,twists and turns and it will keep you turning pages long into the night. I would have gave it five stars but no one is perfect - although this comes close.
