Is there any genre John Grisham can’t write? It would be enough to have written only the spellbinding legal thrillers, which made him famous—from The Firm to The King of Torts. But in recent years, he succeeded with novels like A Painted House and Bleachers, which showed readers he could write just as well outside the courtroom. And then when he did return to court, as he did with the damning true crime investigation, An Innocent Man, he showed us he was just as comfortable writing nonfiction. And now, with Playing for Pizza, he shows us that whatever he writes displays his irresistible storytelling powers.
After three interceptions in 11 minutes that cost his Cleveland Browns football team the playoffs, third-string quarterback Rick Dockery’s football career is over. Or is it? There is one team who still wants him. The only catch is the team is the Parma Panthers from Parma, Italy. Rick isn’t too keen on the idea but with nowhere else to go he takes the offer and is introduced into a whole different world full of strange rules, great food, and exotic women. After reading this funny and engaging novel full of the essence of Italian charm, we dare you not to whip out your credit card and book the next flight to Italy. It’s that good!
