Playing for Pizza by John Grisham Book Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • After providing what is arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL, third-string quarterback Rick Dockery becomes a national laughingstock. Cut by the Cleveland Browns, and shunned by every other team, Rick insists that his agent find a team that does need him.

Against enormous odds, Rick lands a job—as the starting quarterback for the Mighty Panthers ... of Parma, Italy.

The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player—any former NFL player—at their helm. And now they’ve got Rick, who knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) and doesn’t speak a word of Italian. To say that Italy—the land of fine wines, extremely small cars, and football americano—holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.

Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM, coming soon!

Playing for Pizza. Loved this book!!!! Started reading it on a trip to Italy, and found out it even helped with finding my way around. Fun,Fast,Relaxed reading......Would recommend it to everyone!! GOOD JOB, JOHN!

One for the ages. Absolutely love this book. Paints a beautiful picture of everyday life in Italy. One of my favorite books of all time and would recommend this to all people of any age

Soulful. Another wonderful non-formula Fun read. It makes me want to go to Italy!

Outstanding Read. I thought this was a very entertaining book. It kept my attention and was fun the whole way through. Characters were interesting and had enough football to feel like a sports book.

Very different but fun.. John throws a curve, but a good one. No murders and the only blood was from football games.

Thank you Mr. Grisham. This is my favorite Grisham book so far.

Enjoyable read!. Just enough football balanced with ‘Italia’!

A fun change of pace!!. This is a great change of pace from John Grisham. I enjoy they way he tells a story and in "playing for pizza" you get just that. Same great story telling but it's all about football and Italy !!!

Playing for Pizza. This is John Grisham's first sports book and the last one that I read. Though I wasn't sure about the main character in the beginning, it wasn't long before I started to like him. The more he discovered his true self, the more I liked him. This was a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed the history of Italy as well as the cuisine. As always, Grisam did a great job with his research.

A must read for a NFL fan. Another masterpiece! I enjoyed a great story plus American football.

Fun. Playing for pizza is a wonderful trip into life in italy. Through the eyes of an American washed-up quarterback, we see how Italians live, eat and enjoy life. We Americans should approach life the same way as our Italian neighbors. Family, friends, food and unbridled love of life. A treat to read.

Playing For Pizza. Great book! I started it while my wife and I spent 9 days in Northern Italy. Although we did not get to Parma, the stories of food, wine, travel, and sightseeing were easy to relate to. Also a great football story any sports lover will enjoy.

Amazing!!!!. I absolutely loved this book. It was a nice fun upbeat book. Even if your not a book reader but you like football, your going to enjoy picking this book up.

A Book Review. This book made it seem as if you were right there with him. It has a perfect storyline with romance action and suspense. It's my overall all time favorite book!

Great book!!!!. Is and always will be my favorite book!!!!! Have read it like 300 times. Great book.

Playing for Pizza. A different book for Grisham, quick read you have to like football.

Playing For Pizza. This is one of my favorite books that I have read and I have read a lot... Classics. Non - fiction. Lord of the Rings and Grapes of Wrath and Gone With the Wind are my MOST favorites, but Playing For Pizza ranks right up there.... I love it because I learned a lot about Italy where I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to and perform for the troops with the USO, right after 9/11. I was a comedian and a college football player. My father was a high school coach. I am a combat veteran having been a Lieutenant and an Infantry Platoon Leader with the First of the Eleventh Infantry in Northern I Corps in tithe Republic of Vietnam, which of course no longer exists. I suppose that's one of the reasons this book appeals to me --- being in a leadership position and facing physical danger. I've read some of his other books but this one, though somewhat obscure, is my favorite. Blake Clark

All okay!. That's pretty good!!! For me, as a person who studies and wants to improve English, it's perfect book!! Not hard to understand, easy-reading, interesting and also makes me to interest in American football..
