Sometimes it’s just fun to go on a ride with a character on the run in Italy. Don’t think too hard about if you even care whether he lives/dies. Just enjoy it.

Granted I'll likely read another Grisham book because they are entertaining, The Broker was a huge disappointment and nothing like the novels from Grisham's glory days.

I was positively surprised about the book. I thought it was much more politcally than it is.

Not for those looking for a typical Grisham thriller but a good, quick read nonetheless.

This was a dependable Grisham novel. A few of his novels have kept me up reading until 2 a.m., this wasn't one, at least not for me. It did capture my attention, though. I had mixed feels about the ending.
The last Grisham book I read was The Client, which was far better than this one, The Broker. At the end of The Client, I felt as if I knew the main character intrinsically, and was full-heartedly routing for him. Not so with this one. Perhaps because the client was first-person, this was third-person. In this book, the main character was a rich man, and in The Client it was a young, poor, and innocent child.
Either way, if you enjoy Grisham books, I'd keep this on your list, but not at the top. :)

A review here says that this book is an in-flight soporific entertainment and I cannot find better words to sum up than this.
