The Associate - John Grisham

The Associate is about a new lawyer who's being blackmailed to take a $200,000 per year job. Needless to say, it takes a while to work up sympathy for the main character. In a way this is a cautionary tale about why you should worry about what you do in college and how it will affect your future prospects. Sadly, most people who'll read this book will do so too late to make a difference. Like all Grisham novels it's hard to put down. A very good read. Highly recommended.
