| This may sound swotty or whatever but anyway, like Worthy's game review thread this is where you can review books.
I'll start:
The Bretheren
John Grisham
The book is about a man named Aaron Lake, who works in milliarty, he's called in by the head of CIA who tells me a big secret that is a big bearing.
Menawhile in a federal prison, three ex-judges who call themselves The Bretheren set up a gay extortionest scheme, with the help of their lawyer, Trevor Carter. But what happens when they snare the wrong man.
This book has a gripping plot line and is superbly written, it's the 3rd book of John Grisham I have read and all three have been great, his writing is terrific and makes you feel as if you are inside it, he manages to join everything up and his characters are detailed and you fell is if they exist, he manages to let everything fall into place, with no complecations or too many plots, and he ends it brilliantly.
I would recomened it to anyone who enjoys murder novels, or law novels. | |

Foley is good; good is right but not great this is nowhere near his first,starts well but drifts off half way thou the book gets very hard to keep in to after that 5/10
The rocks says; well i say its crap stays as the rock for near the whole book,should of been a class read but lets down big tine 1/10
The wrestling;a book about the old british game,not a bad book as long as know the likes of Kendo Nagasaki,big daddy and giant haystacks i loved the old stuff its the first wrestling i ever seen 8/10

| I have read alot of the same books as you, apart from rocks, chyna and foleys
Others I have read are
Eddie guerreros- TALES OF TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS AND THE EXTENET OF DRUGS IN WRESTLING. VERY GOOD READ 9.5/10
William regal- Good solid book, interesting read. Worth a go if your a regal fan, or a fan of british wrestling 7/10
Dynamite kid- olid book, Really, really good read. Take what he says with a pinch of salt 8/10
Hardyz- Done prematurely. Hopfully they will redo in a couple of years 5/10
Rise and fall of ECW- Solid book, time line and misses alot out. Told me everything I new already but nothing new. For dye hard ECW fans only 5/10
Eddie Graham- i enjoy the old wrestling stories, traveling between territories. Book was engrossing. Tells a lot of truth and towards the end I lost a lot of respect for him 9/10
Matt hughes- Mediocre at best. Not much actiuall happens to a UFC fighter in reality. Some good stories but not much else 3/10
Terry funk- Currently reading, very disappointed but I am determined to read. No structure to the book and for a man who has wrestled for 40 years he loves every1 | |
