Rick Dockery is a third string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. With 11 minutes left in the Championship game Dockery finds himself in the game. In those 11 minutes he manages to blow a seventeen point lead and get knocked out until the next day. Dockery wakes up in the hospital to find he has lost his job, is a hated man, and no other NFL teams are interested in picking up his contract. On a suggestion from his agent he goes to Parma, Italy to play in a very small American Football League for $20,000 and a car and apartment. On the Four Star Scale
Naughty Bits (**) - Dockery hooks up with a cheerleader type.
Readability (****) - 272 pages. Small book.
Final notes (*) - I have now read 19 books by John Grisham...why, why, why. I think that it is time to stop. If you want to read a book about football read The Blindside. If you want to read a John Grisham book read The Client. I used to just have a problem with the way Grisham ended his stories. It seemed like he struggled to tie up all the end bits. His shoddy story lines have spread now.
