The Racketeer

I could not reach a unanimous decision on this book.

The Racketeer kept me engaged throughout, yet as I listened I found myself waiting for drama that did not eventuate. Not that there wasn't drama in this book, it just wasn't as dramatic as I expected. I enjoyed the characters and the story, but found the surprise ending a bit unrewarding.

J.D. Jackson was excellent, keeping the characters nicely separated within a predominantly first-person narrative.

Yes, a great story, so many twists and turns that you wouldn't expect. Easy to follow and a great thriller

The unexpected story line held you captivated right to the end

Jackson was easy to listen to, believable, his voice fitting the Characters and the pace of the book.

It was all good

Well written, kept you interested and captivated to the very end. My only regret was that the book finished. Loved it!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I haven't listened to a John Grisham for a while so had forgotten what a good storyteller he is. It had enough twists and turns to keep it really interesting . Definitely recommend.

This is not actually a 'legal thriller', more like "one man against the system". Our Hero tells the story of he schemed to get out of jail and this plot line climaxes about halfway though the book, so you know that there will be more twists in the tale. Without spoiling things too much, the second half of the book sees the tables turned as Our Hero goes on the offensive to try to get some satisfaction.
I enjoyed the pacing, which made me want to listen just a little bit longer to see where the cunning plan was going. The narrator was good and I can recommend this as something in the genre that is also a little bit different.

Very clear audio recording, very clear story. Kept me intrigued to the very end.

All of it.

Clear, well spoken. No annoying bits.

Yes

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Had it been a hardcover, I wouldn't have been able to put it down. I highly recommend it - Grisham is a great storyteller. The story is excellent, plenty of twists in the tale. The narration was very good, so overall I'm going to give this 5/5

I liked the narrator and the first half is not bad. The second half is just annoying. Most of the second half is just endless detail and the conclusion just does not work. This is one of my bottom five audio books. I really liked some of Grisham's other books, but I wish I could turn back time and skip this.

A compelling listen as the tension builds and the plot unfolds. One of his best.

Yes. Great story as usual

The Rain Maker. First person narrative

Phonetics

Quinn's interrogation

It's a must read! Oh, is it a must listen instead?

Great Unique Plot

Grisham's "Testament" as it keeps you guessing until the end

He is one of the best. Read with enthusiasm.

Many moments of intrigue
