A review by mattsimpson
The Exchange by John Grisham
1.0
This book read like a behind-the-scenes view of a kidnapping/hostage thriller. I waited 350 pages for the twist, the turn, the exciting part. It never came. None of the intrigue, all of the mundanity.
If you ever need an example of how to make a kidnapping/hostage situation boring, give them this book.
I would not have used an existing character like Mitch McDeere to sell this book. Unless, everyone knew it was going to be bad and a decision was made to use a familiar face to sell the work when it wouldn't have sold otherwise?
Hope his next one (if there is one) is much, much better than this.
