I’ve never read a Grisham, so I can’t compare it to his more famous lawyer novels. But I did find this to be fun fluff! I’m not into football, so I thought those scenes were kind of boring. He went into such details on them. But I loved the travels around Italy! It makes you want to just move to Italy and travel around the 23 regions!

I miss Grisham’s lawyer novels! The “hero” of this story is an immature, self-centered jerk, so it was hard to feel bad for his situation. The descriptions of Italy were wonderful, but the football scenes less so, and too many of the characters were overblown caricatures. It was a quick read, and definitely not one of Grisham’s better efforts.
