 if you're expecting a great legal thriller, pick up an earlier Grisham novel. If you want a great political thriller, there are wonderful ones by Snow, Drury and Patterson. But if you will be satisfied with a workmanlike spy-cum-politics novel, with some first-rate cloak and dagger intrigue, an uplifting vignette of father-son redemption and a poignant pastiche of unrequited love, then "The Broker" is the book for you.  To make a weak plot even weaker, Beckman is utterly unsympathetic.  I had a very good time with The Broker, found Backman believable and charming and interesting, got a few laughs and felt my pulse thumping as the climax approached. But there's a rather hasty aspect to the book: too many short paragraphs, too many unnecessary exclamation points, a rushed and contrived ending. Zippy but uneventful, the book tastes like something Robert Ludlum left sitting on his stove when he died. Readers looking for a non-stop thrill ride won't find it in The Broker. For those ready to relax and settle into an almost sensuous pace, The Broker is benissimo. Est contenu dansEst en version abrégée dansDistinctions
John Grisham, delivers another legal thriller of unparalled suspense. With fourteen years left on a twenty-year sentence, notorious Washington power broker, Joel Blackman, receives a surprise pardon from a lame-duck president. He is smuggled out of the country on a military cargo plane, given a new identity, and tucked away in a small town in Italy. But Blackman has serious enemies from his past. As the CIA watches him closely, the question is not whether he will be killed, but rather who will kill him first. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
