<STRONG>Comments by Viren Goyal</strong><BR> No. of Pages=262<BR> This is not a typical Grisham book. It is his off beat book with unusual theme. It is auther's second attempt after the his success with Skipping Christmas. That one was hilarious. It was made into a movie later. This book deals with a theme of a unsuccessful and humiliated US football player who moves to Italy to play American football. There are quite a touch of comedy. But to appreciate humor, one ought to understand the basic rules of American football. Apparantly this humorous book has been written for people who understand the game in general. interesting reading.I think some one will buy the movie making rights for this book one day.I enjoyed the book. Recommended reading if you know a bit about American football. This is a *** rating in my view.<BR><BR> <strong>Comments by Harsh Pande</strong><br> It was a very enjoyable book to read, especially at this time (Sep-Oct). I read this book while I was away from USA and in India. This is the time in USA when the US Football season is in full swing. Since I cannot see a US Football game on TV in India, reading a book about it provided me a good outlet to enjoy that sport.<br><BR> In addition to the football, the book is about Italy, its food, wine, its operas, its people as well as romance. Reading the book makes you want to take a trip to Italy. <br><BR> I want to give it four stars (****). Since Viren has given it three stars, we will rate the book as ***1/2.
