Playing for Pizza by John Grisham - Book Review

It seems to me, Mr. Grisham has fallen in love with all things Italiano. After The broker, set mainly in Bologna, where we have to play for pizza, set mainly in Parma.

The story revolves around a football player, Rick Dockery, chased by Cleveland for throwing away the ball and lose a crucial game. Rick places to play for the Parma Panthers a few local people with their dogs.

Along the way we are treated to pages and pages of detailed information on theItalian food, information that I regularly went to the fridge, pages on Italian architecture, the churches and palaces and municipal buildings, which clearly impressed Signor Grisham strong. There's even a section on how to start to drive and park a Fiat Punto car, surprising information that agrees with us that the car actually has a clutch pedal, and how to use them, and God forbid, wind-down windows to. Although perhaps the most surprising revelation is the fact that most, if not allthe churches in Parma are Catholic. My God, me. What would Martin Luther make of it?

Somewhat predictable, Rick falls in love with the local and glamorous young opera singer, or he has, because it soon disappears and is never heard, and as soon as we are, the competitors of the Panthers, who introduced terrible Bergamo Lions "I could see the end. There are some poignant, humorous and moving moments, especially around buttock Franco, but we will notgo into that any further thank you very much, but nothing with what they say are found in comparing The Painted House.

The book is a pleasant enough read, even for someone like me who can not understand, nor has any interest in American football. It is not a book for the slightly overweight, the long description of the ham and cheese drive you bananas. Perhaps it should come with a government health warning.

Playing with Pizza has the impression that it was written to give inplease be in a hurry, perhaps to the marketing people (get another Christmas Johnny!), using many of the recent holiday Signor Grisham's notes. For all those who appeal to his legions of loyal fans, but whether it is to win many new ones, a moot point. It is not nervous, especially moving, groundbreaking, so exciting and unputdownable, even though it found no fault it at all. Make no mistake, I enjoyed reading, and many others.

When Icould be so bold as to make a prediction, I bet that the next time that Mr. Grisham return to his first love, the law. Still, there are many colleagues in Italy who could with a good lawyer who allegedly do, and I can now see all that gangster successfully defended a renegade American attorney with a questionable past, with plenty of ... ham .. . and cheese.

Playing for Pizza, could be the Christmas number, a seller? I doubt it, because there are much better books out therePick up from earlier. Perhaps we should be jumping Christmas this year ... but that is another story entirely.
