Based on the book

Mitch Mcdeere (Cruise) is a hard working law student who is being coveted by multiple firms at once. However the firm of Bandini, Lambert and Locke makes him an offer he can't pass up. He and his wife Abby (Tripplehorn) pick up and move to Memphis where the firm is located so he can begin to study for the bar. Just as he gets his feet wet two long time lawyers with the firm die in what is presumed to be a boating accident while they were in the Caymens. Mitch then soon starts to learn of a darker side of this establishment and the FBI wants him to help them put a case together. Mitch must decide what is more important to him. Is it his career as a lawyer or his family and love of his life.

This movie is based on the book The Firm by Jhon Grisham. The book was much better but, the movie did it justice.

Louise (64 KP) rated The Manifesto on How to be Interesting in Books

Jul 2, 2018

This was my first Holly Bourne novel and I had had it on my TBR for ages and kicked myself for not picking it up sooner. I love YA contemporary books, I love all the feels you get and how invested you get into the story. I was surprised how much I loved this book. I liked Bree and it was interesting to see how much she developed as a character. This book showed you that you didn’t need to be popular to be interesting but it also showed how uncomfortable it was trying to fit in with a crowd that is not the norm for you. It showed valuable life lessons and had really powerful messages. I would have rated this 5 stars but the ending didn’t turn out as I wanted it to but I still loved it. This book does have a teacher/student relationship, so if that’s not your thing I would steer clear.

Sue (5 KP) rated Violet in Books

Aug 13, 2018

Violet is a kindergarten teacher that believes one of her students is being abused by his parents. After hearing a presentation by a handsome social worker, she realizes that her student is being endangered by methamphetamines.

Can this timid teacher find a way to save this child before it is too late? With the help of her bible study group the Planted, she gets closer to understanding God’s teachings and her role, which allows her to find the strength to be bold and save a child.

This is the third book in the Christian suspense series, Planted Flowers. As with the other books in the Planted series, this is more than just a book of mystery and romance. The underlining story has to do with finding faith, strength, understanding, and support while gaining a deeper relationship with God and his teachings.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
