Book Review – The Racketeer

John Grisham makes me happy.  I just love him and I do not care how you feel about it.

That being said…I felt his last few books were getting a bit thin.  I thought Grisham was falling into the trap of most uber-successful authors and perhaps was going to start phoning it in.

But this book.  You gotta be kidding me.  It is as good or better than any of Grisham’s early work.  It is so well planned that I never knew what was coming next.

The story is about a lawyer (surprise!) who is in federal prison.  He’s innocent…no really. 

So in his copious amounts of spare time (apparently prison is quite boring), he hatches a scheme to get out.  It’s not a jailbreak.  It’s totally legal.  And you are going to enjoy it.
