Book Review: The Brethren, John Grisham November 8, 2007
Posted by Martin in : Book Reviews , trackback
Another disappointing read really so it's another book I'm glad I've finished. The story itself was ok, it followed a group of imprisoned judges who operated a blackmail scam from prison that targeted closet homosexual professionals and also upon a man who the CIA had decided to pupeteer to become the next president - who, unsuprisingly really was also a closet homosexual.
What annoyed me about this was that the plot never really developed. It was as if Grisham was so proud of his storyline that he just gave up on closing it with any suspense or interest. The CIA director explained what he planned to do to resolve the problem of their candidate being blackmailed and then followed this plan without anything else happening. As their resolve was detailed 50 pages from the ending my only suprise from that point onward was that there was no suprises.
My rating: 4/10
