The Broker by John Grisham Book Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing President grants a controversial last-minute pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away in a federal prison. What no one knows is that the President issues the pardon only after receiving enormous pressure from the CIA.

It seems Backman, in his power broker heyday, may have obtained secrets that compromise the world’s most sophisticated satellite surveillance system. Backman is quietly smuggled out of the country in a military cargo plane, given a new name, a new identity, and a new home in Italy. Eventually, after he has settled into his new life, the CIA will leak his whereabouts to the Israelis, the Russians, the Chinese, and the Saudis.

Then the CIA will do what it does best: sit back and watch. The question is not whether Backman will survive—there is no chance of that. The question the CIA needs answered is, who will kill him?

Boring.... I'm a Grisham big fan but this novel has a good theme developed with a boring story. Still, most of Grishams book are awesome, I won't stop reading his books. Just a bad day at the office w/this book.

The Broker. Loved learning about Italy, the language but the suspense was what kept me from putting the book down!

The broker. Incomplete. Looks like Grisham's purpose was to enjoy Italy and write off the expense. The ending suggests he just got bored.

Intriguing. The author has such an amazing way of keeping the reader intrigued.

Far from his best work. I agree with another review that said that the first 20 chapters were pages out of Rosetta Stone. It was painfully slow reading with no real ending. Big fan, but far from his best work.

Great book!. Didn't think Grisham could pull off technology like this. Great read!

The Broker. With throw of a dart John Grisham chooses a great place for this character to start his adventures of freedom. The more I read about this guy, the more I come to like him. This is by far one of Grisham's better works. The more I read about Italy, the more I wanted to understand the language and sample the cuisine.

The Broker is a good time.. Time well spent

The Broker. Written with the usual smoothness I have come to expect from Grisham, the Broker, has all the twists and turns....changes of fortune and somehow the main character becomes a better human being. I am thinking this last relationship for Backman will be long, happy, and faithful. But the. I believe in redemption for all, even lobbyists.

Major Gene. For the first 20 chapters I thought I was reading Rosetta stone. Then the book got good. The last 10 or so chapters flew by. Not his best but if you are Italian or want to practice Italian a good read.

Very great book. This is my first John Grisham book, and I am now a fan, I can't wait to read what else he has to offer.

Suspenseful exhilarating read. This book grabbed me by the neck,drew me in and I couldn't wait to get to the next page. A drastic change of pace from his previous books yet He nailed it.

Fast paced. Thoroughly engaging!. Thoroughly engaging. Pick it up and you won’t want to put it down. - Jackie-the-Critic

Loved it!. One of my favorites. Great characters and a wonderful story. Another great Grisham book.

The Broker. A great story about a villain who becomes quite the sympathetic hero. Running from the CIA, and every other country’s underground killers, Grisham takes us on a furious chase from Italy to Washington D.C. I wanted to know what happened to the main character so intensely, I had trouble putting the book down.

The Broker. Not bad enough for me to stop reading and trash it but close. Was I reading a travel magazine or sitting in on an Italian language school?

A Nice Change of Pace. I'm an avid reader, and frankly was getting a bit board. This was a nice variance for Mr Grishom. A bit tedious at times with the touring of Italy, but an inspiring page turner.

Unfinished. The foreshadowing to an exciting end was nice.. The ending was cut short and some characters never evolved into the story..

Well written !!. Although it is not the usual John Grisham type of stories with lawyers, I did find it entertaining enough to wanting to turn the next page in order to see what was happening !!! However I found the last chapter as if the author had to finish everything right away and is not the usual ending of Grisham books !! Entertaining but not at par with other of his novels !!

The Broker. very good
