pe2305 's review for:
The Exchange
by John Grisham
This is the follow up to John Grisham's 'The Firm" with Mitch McDeere and his wife Abby, 15 years later. Although this had the usual suspense and twists and turns of a John Grisham novel, but it did read like a bit of a travel book. Mitch is sent to Libya to try to broker a deal for the release of one of the firm's attorneys. The terrorists are requesting a $100 million ransom to be paid in just a few days with Mitch's wife Abby as the go between. This was one of the many details that seemed inconceivable and stretched the bounds of reality. Why would the terrorists ask the lawyers wife to act as go between?
I felt this was a little slow, and padded with 'filler', there were too many characters doing mundane things. In my opinion it didn't possess the typical Grisham flair that has previously kept me enthralled, wanting to hurriedly savor every chapter; at times this felt like a bit of a slog. The abrupt ending of this story left many unanswered questions.
