Title: An Italian language lesson
Review: I have not read the books that made Grisham famous. In fact this is the first full-length book of his I have read. In short, I do not find the book compelling. This is John Grisham's first spy novel and it has received mostly positive reviews, with which I do not agree. Washington power broker Joel Backman, who holds the secret to a sophisticated spy satellite system, is on the run for his life and at least 4 countries and the CIA want him dead. The first half of the book details Backman's two months hiding in Italy. This part moves at a very languid pace and about all you get out of it is an extensive Italian language lesson and an in depth of tour of the city of Bologna. The second half of the book moves faster, but peters out to a disappointing finish. You feel the author is just trying to quickly finish the book and put the reader out of his misery. If you want to read Grisham, I recommend you stick to Grisham's legal thrillers.
