Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by alexander young
Not Your Usual Grisham
Too heavy on sleep-inducing South American flora-fauna and geography lessons. Really doesn't rate with what we've come to expect from Grisham. I wound up skimming the last ten-or-so chapters. Also, the novel is excessively heavy on matters of what we generally describe as faith. He seems to assume, in the way he tells the yarn, that the reader shares what I take to be his own religious beliefs. Actually, I might better have entitled this review, "Grisham Finds Jesus in Jungles of Brazil."


Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Palesa Mpuru
Thrilling
The book is excellent. Though we turn to depend on wealth and power, but self spiritual healing is important to overcome your life's tribulations; as we go through Nate's escapade. An emotional ending...[spoiler removed- ed]


Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Anand
Takes you to the interior jungles & flooding rivers of The Pantanal. Those will stay afresh ever in my eyes. Good Work

You are the man. You can do it. I hope you make a book about fooball, not like the Bleacher you made.

Great, great BOOK!!!!!!
Very interesting!


Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Michael B
It moved fairly well with a good ending. Not what I had expected from Grisham. I expected more courtroom drama than would typically be in his books. Worth a read though.
