> Grisham's last good book was The Racketeer, published in 2012.
The Whistler, Camino Island and The Guardians were good too. And that's probably why I felt a bit underwhelmed by this latest book.

I agree that saying "spark is fading" was a bit of exaggeration on my part. Perhaps to draw attention to my point.
But give up on him? No way!

I have been observing that we are all successful losers. We are all losers because of the setbacks and failures we encounter in a life journey. Successful because we eventually overcome loss and failures.
As we come to the end of another eventful year, a few of my musings on balancing it all

I read and heard Kite Runner when it first came out.
Reading the book took me into a fascinating journey into a new culture and place. Listening to the audio version was equally fascinating as I could follow-along with the intonation and tone of the reader.

Probably why I couldn't get into this 'historic' novel.
