    "Another great Grishan novel"
    What made the experience of listening to The Racketeer the most enjoyable?

    Being a snitch for the FBI can sometimes but not always be dangerous to your health. I learned a lot about the government's witness protection program. I hope I never have to rely on it.


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    The plot moved along at a nice pace. I knew twists and turns were coming, and I enjoyed them when they arrived.


    Have you listened to any of J.D. Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I'm not sure if I have listened to him before. I thought he was good.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Learn how prisoners got rich with the help of the U.S, government.

    "backto the old Grisham"
    Where does The Racketeer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    It felt like one of the old Grisham novels. You never were left wanting and always wanted to keep listening. I spent time in my garage listening before I went into the house.


    What did you like best about this story?

    There was no black and white. Each character has good and bad.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    No one is who you think he is! Is good, good or is evil, evil?

    The ending was not very surprising and I figured it out early.

    "Great story"
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Racketeer to be better than the print version?

    I would rather listen to a book than read a book. J. D. Jackson did a very good job of reading the book and bringing out the different characters.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Racketeer?

    I finally realized that Max had made much bigger plans in advance than I though he had.


    Have you listened to any of J.D. Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No


    Any additional comments?

    The book kept my interest.

    "Okay story....slow in the middle....okay ending"

    It's still Grisham, so the writing is very good, but the story lacked action or suspense.
    There was a long slow middle that really didn't seem to have a lot to do with the story.
    Then when we get answers, they seem to hurry though them.
    Would not recommend to read, but okay to listen to.

    This story seemed to get off to a slow start, but about half way through, I was drawn in wondering about the entirety of the scheme Malcolm had devised.
