Title: 1 1/2 Stars -- Don't Waste Your Time And Money!
Review: While Grisham's latest wasn't bad enough to give up on, he has hit an all-time low with The Broker. The plot (if you want to call the weak, loosely connected story line a plot) is poorly developed, the characters have no depth to them, and the ending (as well as most of the rest of the book) is boring. Rather than being (supposedly) a suspense thriller, The Broker reads more like an historical travelogue of Bologna, Italy and a Berlitz course on learning Italian, which is fairly interesting and the only reason I am not giving this book a 1-star rating. I've read and enjoyed to varying degrees virtually all of Grisham's books, even those that were heavily panned by many reader reviewers. However, The Broker is an almost complete waste of valuable reading time. It seems clear from the ending of The Broker that Grisham has a sequel in mind. Next time, he won't have me (and my money) to support him. Do yourself a major favor and skip this book.
