The Broker by John Grisham

3.0

We own most of John Grisham's books, with the exception of 2 or 3 of them. While Tim has read most of them, I've only read about half. I chose "The Broker" as part of the "What's in a Name Challenge" for 2009 - this one fulfilling the slot for a book with the profession in the title.

This was not one of my favorite of the Grisham books I've read. Tim had read this one before and couldn't remember the exact plot, but remembered it was not his favorite - and I concur. However, I did enjoy it, I just didn't think it was on par with The Partner or The Testament or a couple of others. The plot hooked me fairly quickly and kept me reading, which is always a good sign for me. The plot was not what I would have wanted or expected, I felt it was a little scattered and not as solid as some others. However, as I said, I did enjoy it and am glad I read it.

I look forward to working my way through more of our Grisham collection this year :)
