Calico Joe (John Grisham)
« on: April 27, 2012, 01:32:54 PM »
Notwithstanding that it is touted as a book about a Cubs' rookie who breaks every existing record in the book for rookies, the book is a crashing bore about a son's relationship with a ne'er do well father.  The father is a pitcher for the Mets who deliberately beans the rookie, who then loses an eye and suffers a stroke, after coming out of a coma.  The son seeks redemption, not the father.  Don't bother.

Is it better that I read Scott Turow?  I take that back.  It is better to read Turow.

There was a few page excerpt in the print edition of Sports Illustrated a couple weeks back.

That was enough for me.

Most lawyers I know can't stand Grisham, or pretty much any courtroom dramatization on TV or movies ever.
