Title: Boring / NOISO!!
Product review: I normally devour Grisham's books, but this one was an effort. I've read and loved all his previous works, but The Broker was a disappointment. As other reviewers have pointed out, it reads more like a travel guide to Italy than a legal thriller. I came to the conclusion that Mr. Grisham wanted to visit Italy, so he wrote this book in order to take a tax deduction on his travel expenses. Apparently he also wanted to learn to speak Italian, judging from his constant use of both Italian and English in the dialogue. For example: "Good morning ma'am / Buongiorno signora" or "Buonasera signore / Good evening sir." I found it extremely annoying to the point of skipping the longer segments in an effort to minimize the headache I got trying to read it. That and the endless tedious descriptions of scenery, food, wine, restaurants, etc. almost put me to sleep. Overall, not worthy of this author's sterling reputation.
