About this ebook
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • After leaving a fast-track legal career and going on a serious bender, David Zinc is sober, unemployed, and desperate enough to take a job at Finley & Figg, a self-described “boutique law firm” that is anything but.
Oscar Finley and Wally Figg are in fact just two ambulance chasers who bicker like an old married couple. But now the firm is ready to tackle a case that could make the partners rich—without requiring them to actually practice much law. A class action suit has been brought against Varrick Labs, a pharmaceutical giant with annual sales of $25 billion, alleging that Krayoxx, its most popular drug, causes heart attacks. Wally smells money. All Finley & Figg has to do is find a handful of Krayoxx users to join the suit. It almost seems too good to be true ... and it is.
Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

A comfortable and easy to read tale of a big firm lawyer who stumbles into a street lawyers' firm. The antics and trouble they get into bring a smile as well as the tensions of a Big Pharma case. Enjoyable read and story.

I just finished "The Litigators"..As usual, I loved it. It wasn't as "active" as some of his other creations, but I think it's quite good. It was an easy read..I felt it flowed as I read it. I believe an "Oscar-Felix" relationship was ongoing between the older men. They were lucky David appeared and helped clean up their messes--at a time when they needed it desperately! I received my lessons in law, as I usually do with his books. "The Litigators" bring readers a healthy dose of what's going on today--large pharmaceutical companies and shady operations, shady lawyers and their games, wanna be thugs..it's all there. From the secretary to the shared mutt..it all fell together..thank you, Mr. Grisham!

I would never ever recommend this book to ANYONE. I am a Grisham fan, but this was garbage. Slow, boring, unfunny, unbelievable, and did I mention slow. Grisham can write comedy as he proved in "Skipping Christmas" this wasn't funny at all.
