Title: Boring
Review: The 700+ customer reviews cannot go completely wrong: This book, "The Brethren" by John Grisham, is disappointingly boring. And it could have been so interesting.The CIA gets a conspiration going to install congressman Aaron Lake as the upcoming President of the United States. You can see the influence of money and company interests, the manipulation of the people by media etc. However, the story is not really worked out, details are missing, and actually, this seems not to be the main story the book wants to tell. The "main story" is the description of an extortion scheme used by three former judges, who are imprisoned in a federal jail, and their lawyer. The story is dragging, the writing is neither fast-paced nor rich in detail. And even when the two main streams of action touch you are longing for the end of the chapter to finally go to sleep...
