sfletcher26 's review for:
The Racketeer
by John Grisham
This is the first and probably last John Grisham I've ever read. Don't get me wrong in some ways this is exactly the book I was looking for at this point in time, something easy, quick to read and not too taxing to take my mind off studying and work and it definitely did that. That said this was so not taxing that I think my IQ dropped 20 points reading it.
The plot was thin and felt plucked out of nothing. The characters were completely one dimensional and unlikable. By the end of the book I couldn't have given a flying fig about any one of them.
To give Grisham his due he seems to be a much loved writer and whilst this isn't a complete stinker it does feel like a book that's been sitting in a drawer somewhere waiting to be dusted off to prevent a sustained period of writers block being noticed by an adoring fan base.
