It's a damned good read. This is Grisham returning to what he knows best.
Scotland on Sunday
Grisham paints a fascinating picture. Vintage Grisham, with a really believable ending
The Guardian
Tense and exciting
Evening Standard
Easily his most recognisably 'back to form' novel since The Firm. Grisham has returned with a vengeance to his trademark territory: the grim world of corporate law and the sinister machinations of the men on its fringes.
The Times
In typical Grisham fashion it does hurtle along at a decent clip
London Lite
Don't wait for the film, read the book first this time. The maestro of the legal thriller's new one centres on a brilliant student with an unfortunate secret.
Daily Sport
The Firm had at it's rotten core a private enterprise in the guise of a legal practice, the filth at the heart of The Associate is much more insidious. Grisham's fine legal mind clearly sets out all the parameters, and then he puts his outraged foot down, right to the floor.
The Mirror
Grisham never disappoints and this is another fantastic read
The Sun
In The Associate, John Grisham returns to the legal milieu he explored so vividly in The Firm. Grisham is such a storyteller that you want to turn the page
The Guardian
The cat-and-mouse game that ensues is gripping, the legal background utterly convincing
Sunday Telegraph
Grisham's new book harks back to the one that made him famous, and effectively defined the legal thriller genre: The Firm. Grisham does a fine job of evoking the insanely competitive culture of a major New York law firm.
The Mail on Sunday
The Associate grabs the reader quickly and becomes impossible to put down
New York Times
A vintage legal thriller from the master of the genre
USA Today
