Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Not my favorite Grisham. The synopsis had me waiting for Sooley to become a star for half the book. I wouldn't have minded if I wasn't expecting it, but I was. And.i really didn't like the ending. That said, it was an easy listen, and as with most Grisham novels, I liked the characters a lot. He has a real.gift for creating fascinating people; love them or hate them, I always want to know more about them
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

 If you like basketball you’ll probably love this book but there is a lot of description of the matches and if you don’t know the terminology it is a bit boring.

Audiobook

It was fine. Seemed to skim the surface.

Another reviewer called this book and plot an emotional manipulation and I completely agree. I really enjoyed this book and was ready to give it 4 stars up until about chapter 55. Just stop reading there. The last 40 pages aren’t worth it. He clearly hates his characters.

Would have given 5 stars but the end ruined the whole book for me
