Media Reviews
Grisham comes into his own. The man knows how to crank up the tension, we are soon on the edge of our seats. Read this book, enjoy it. * Daily Express *
Playing for Pizza is well plotted and shows Grisham's gift for coming up with twists and appealing minor characters. * Sunday Times *
Playing for Pizza is a lyrical page-turner and a gasp-inducing reminder of the scope of this man's genius with the written word. Grisham is something of a Da Vinci with words. He can blow your brains out with the power of truth or paint pictures that magically reveal the reality beneath. This is a smooth, satisfying and delightful read. * Sunday Express *
Grisham's writing takes on an energy and precision in this amiable novel * TLS *
