My rating: 3">https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1092337628">3 of 5 stars
Airplane read--well airplane read to Europe and back :).
I was very disappointed in the story. The writing is fine--typical Grisham but the story line was weak. It was VERY predictable. There are no surprise twists to this story. I guessed the reason for the inheritance gift within the first 1/4 of the book.
Also, I am irrationally bugged by the way Grisham writes about Jake's wife--I can't even remember her name--Leslie? Anyway, her character is so flat, so lifeless, and so unnecessary to Jake's life. Really bugged me.

Book #17: non-fiction The Terrorist's Son
I love this TED talk book format. I hope they publish lots more of these. Easily digestible and quick--just like a TED talk. :)

Originally a TED talk. This was a quick read (90 minutes) and a very interesting read. Everyone should read this. It gives real insight into the American families left behind and the torture and torment they go through because of the choices made by their parents.
