The latest best seller by John Grisham to hit the stands, The Broker starts off in a great way by maintaining the suspense right from the first page itself. This is the first novel that Grisham has located outside his country(United States). It is almost fully located at Italy describing its beautiful places often. Those who enjoy traveling to new places will like this book for sure. The whole story around just one man- the hero who is on the run after being pardoned by the president under questionable conditions and creates a controversy. He is chased by the police and intelligence agencies of many countries and Grisham has maintained the suspense throughout the book. What happens to the hero is the climax. The book has many similarities with The Firm and The Client. Particularly, it looks a lot like The Firm’s climax enlarged to a whole book. Despite all this, it is a book worth reading. Grisham has not lost his touch- his style and language are as good as ever. However, his fans will be highly disappointed, but even they should not miss this because….well, they are Grisham fans 
. For a man whose second novel is The Firm it is not up to the mark, but it certainly is not among the not-so-good books of Grisham. It keeps you wondering, how Grisham has criminal for a hero, but you know when you finish the book, Grisham didn’t fail you. Believe me, you won’t regret reading this book!
