Title: Unlike Grisham --- Realistic.
Review: How many Grisham novels can we take, with the same formula, the preposterous unrealistic plots and Tom Cruise characters? The Deal is convincingly plausible. It could really happen. The story is suspenseful and interesting. Unlike Grisham, the author has really practiced law and knows what really goes on [ OK, so maybe Grisham practiced in some backwater in Mississippi ]. Highly recommended --- but skip the overly long chapter where they are skiing --- adds little but about 30 pages.
