The Racketeer by John Grisham
4.0

It's been a while since I've read me some Grisham and I was pleasantly welcomed back with the Racketeer. I thought the story was pretty brilliant and loved the twists and turns, though to be honest - I did predict some plot endings early on, but there were still a few surprises in there that made it enjoyable. There was an odd break in this book where all the sudden it's like there is another book being read and I thought, "What the heck?" Just keep reading - I kept flipping back thinking, "Did I miss something?" but that wound up actually being a pretty cool part of the book. There is a definite agenda here criticizing the federal government - though I would've liked to hear even MORE detail there - the surface explanations of RICO were ok, but I would've liked a bit more.
