Change of Pace

PLAYING FOR PIZZA was a nice discovery and a welcome change from Grisham's usual tales of lawyers who save the world, again....and, well, again...and, of course, one more time.
In this book he offers up a clever and highly entertaining story of a washed-up NFL Quarterback who goes to Italy (quickly and with good reason) to play for a team in the Italian Football League.
It has a wonderful cast of characters, some great insight to traveling or living in Italy, and is really a good little escape. I read it on several plane trips and momentarily forgot about being stuck in coach.
Buy the book because it is entertaining and an enjoyable read. Better still, it won't have you saying to yourself, 'Huh? Lemme guess...the hero's an attorney?' from page one.
I suspect that maybe Grisham even really enjoyed writing this one and, you know what? It shows.

Pizza Hangs Half a Hundred!

This is the best book Grisham has ever written. The characters are bruising, the action is sudden-death, the humor is no-huddle, and the plot is razzle-dazzle. The only problem I had with the book was that it made me hungry...for Italian food.

Great Book to Read While on Vacation

My husband and I recently listened to the unabridged audio version of this book while driving cross country. We thought the book was maybe more of a travel log than anything else, since we learned a lot about Italian food and tourist attractions. But of course we also learned a lot about Italian football. Who knew????
I'm adding this to my list of books to buy for friends and family.

Not good for kids

One of my favorite things about John is that his books are clean. This one has lots of inuendos and lots of non-detailed sex in it. So, although the story line is kind of cute, i ended up having to rip out pages of it and blot out lots of lines so that my son could read it. For our family, clean is best!
