Playing for Pizza by John Grisham

Not the usual John Grisham fare.  American football, tourism, food, wine and opera.  No secret identities, double dealing or intricate legal affairs.  Although there is a brief mention of a lawsuit and two appearances in a judge's chambers.

Not being a sports fan, and not having any knowledge whatsoever of American football, the sporting action was somewhat lost on me.  It might be a thrilling, vivid and lifelike narrative of action on the pitch/field/sporting surface, but how would I know?  I was able to follow it, and felt like I understood it.  I don't think I could ask for more from Mr Grisham.

A light, enjoyable read, but nothing to shout about.
