Query: I was going to give it 2 stars...

But after reading some of the reviews, particularly the incomprehensible 5-star ones, I'm going to knock it down a notch.Hard to find anything to say about this book that hasn't been touched upon. Nearly impossible to believe this is the same person who wrote "A Painted House" which is even better than his legal-thrillers.Most inexcusable is the inexplicable disappearance of one of the villains introduced earlier in the story, but there's a lot here to be disappointed with. There are many more clever wits than I that discuss how much of the Italian language one can pick up from this story (if one were so inclined).So, boo on this one, but Mr. Grisham has plenty of other stories that are worth reading, so don't give up on him entirely.
