Title: A Biased View of Brazil
Product review: This is the second Grisham book I read. It is an entertaining page-turner, but as a Brazilian, I was set back by Grisham's inaccurate, sensationalist and rather prejudiced portrait of Brazil. He makes "Pantanal", which is where most of the story takes place, seems like hell. Pantanal is the Portuguese word for swamp and it is also a beautiful ecological sanctuary. Okay, "The Testament" is fiction, but too much exaggeration makes the story loose credibility. I also thought that the end could have been better elaborated. He builds up a good suspense, but he lets the reader down in the end. If you are a big Grisham fan,the book is still worth reading despite its shortcomings. If not, I would recommend picking another book.
