Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A tremendously entertaining legal thriller, filled with the kind of courtroom strategies, theatrics, and suspense that have won John Grisham acclaim as “an absolute master” (The Washington Post).
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, with their new associate on board, 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.

5By Hey PatMaybe not the best of John Grisham, but I found it entertainingPredictable
3By TheHeetThe "set up" (which was about 75% of the book) was overkill. The "twist" at the end was way too predictable.Worth reading
4By NEsport4lifeA bit long-winded, but enjoyable nevertheless.Classic Grisham
5By Wattpad-maniacI loved this book. Great story and characters.The Litigators
5By RoHo '78I love John Grisham books and for me The Litigators is his best yet. His characters Oscar, Wally and David are funny, heartwarming and real. I laughed until my sides hurt and shed a few tears. There was not a boring paragraph though I almost didn’t read it fearing a boring class action tale. Read this book when you have a little time because you won’t want to put it down.The Litigators
5By Hart18I thoroughly enjoyed reading litigators, it gave me a better understanding of what small law firms could look like. I will continue to read Grisham’s outstanding works because they contain entertaining moments as well as an education about how the legal practices function.Excellent
5By UrsulaLaCheeseMarvelous storytelling.Slow

5By surelycharmedThe story was profoundly believable as real life ebbs & flows. The good guy…well he traversed the challenges with class & compassion. The truth prevails! I enjoyed the story & could hardly take a break throughout the travails.An Excellent Read!
5By Jackie the CriticGrisham does not disappoint. This one’s a particularly fun and excellent read! I particularly loved the ending. - I remain a fan, Jackie-the-CriticThe Litigators
4By UK, tooOnce again, I found it tough to stop reading. Also, the subtle humor injected made me gut laugh out loud - but then, that’s one of The more endearing aspects of JG’s writing.Loved it

4By Plants growEasy reading, and predictable end, but heart warming throughout.Great read!
5By floreslawfirmdotcomGreat read. I enjoyed it immensely. J. Flores, JD APRNDisappointing
2By SARiversDefinitely not as good as most of Grisham’s outstanding page-turners. At times interesting and compelling, for the most part I found it predictable and slow. Oh well, they can’t all be best in class.
