The Broker ....

Long back i decided to keep track of Novels, I read.In my Previous Post Read to live,not live to Read I listed the books and the motivation behind them. So adding to the list is "The Broker" by one of my favorite authors John Grisham. I like Grisham , though most of my friends are not. His style is different. A creative naration. For example The Testament is a real classic novel thought the story can be told in exact 2 lines. But its a good read.

The Broker is cool. First time , I thing Grisham ventured in to spy rackets, mosards etc. Usually it used to be Archer's or ken follet's stuff. But Grisham was really good in his plot. There is/was a Broker. A power Broker. He had his empire, built by him. As in real life it too collapsed when he left for jail. There was a security scandal on his name. Shut into jail for 20 years. Then suddenly CIA want to digout the truth. so they get a pardon and ship him off to Italy. They watch him closely to find out which of China\Russia\Isreal\Saudi will kill him first. Then the broker's instincts were back and he is back into the game.
Fairly done by Grisham. Possibility of picking up couple of Italian language and names of dishes .
One unbelievable thing (or atleast my heart didn't agree) is that the Neptune was cracked by pakistanis ;-) . But what heck ? They too have brains and belong to our subcontinent. We were same once .
