Playing for Pizza

John Grisham
When I read, I always enjoy those books the most that are written by a great storyteller. John Grisham is, indeed, a great storyteller. Most readers know him for his legal thrillers, which are excellent. But, I am truly fond of the human interest stories that he tells, such as Playing for Pizza.
Grisham develops characters that you can relate to - whether you like them or not, you feel that you know them. He then inserts them into the fluxes of life, where we see the errors and joys coming at them.
Playing for Pizza is the story of a professional football player who is no longer wanted in the United States, but finds a job as the starting quarterback for the Panthers of Parma, Italy.
This is a wonderful story of football, culture clashes and the human spirit. I enjoyed it very much and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story!
