Acerca de esta escucha
Brought to you by Penguin.
Playing for Position
Rick Dockery is an NFL quarterback who can’t catch a break. One huge mistake makes him a national laughing stock overnight, and no team will touch him.
Playing for Pizza
But all Rick knows is football, and he needs to find a team. Against all odds, Rick gets his break – as star quarterback for the Panthers… of Parma, Italy.
Playing for Pride
Rick doesn’t speak a word of Italian, and the crowds there aren’t exactly NFL-standard. But football americano is about more than fame, and home comes in the most unlikely of packages.

In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing President grants a controversial last-minute pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away in a federal prison. What no one knows is that the President issues the pardon only after receiving enormous pressure from the CIA. It seems Backman, in his power broker heyday, may have obtained secrets that compromise the world’s most sophisticated satellite surveillance system.

Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, he abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high-school cheerleader.

The incomparable master of the legal thriller takes us deeper into the labyrinth that is the American justice system, always drawing us in with an irresistible hook, pulling the thread of tension tighter and tighter, and then knocking us out with a conclusion that's never "by the book". Maybe that's why, after more than 20 years of consecutive number-one New York Times best sellers, a new novel by America's favorite storyteller is still a major publishing event.

Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.... Nothing is as it seems and everything’s fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.

Interesting Sports Story
John Grisham wrote about Italy in "The Broker", and much of this novel has a travel feel to it.
As a non-american I know precious little about American Football, but I still enjoyed this book as much as "Bleachers", although I may have missed some of the finer points.
This book is not a thriller, but it has an interesting and heartwarming story line, and seems perfectly plausible.
Christopher Evan Welch does an excellent job of narration, and brings the story to life. This is not an all-time classic novel, but it is enjoyable and well worth the listening time.

Enjoyment
As an non US person I found this thoroughly enjoyable. I know nothing about the rather silly game where guys needs to put pads on where Rugby Union does it without but nevertheless it maintained pace and was good fun from start to finish............. I found myself wishing there was more

I really like this story. It wasn't a difficult read. It was a nice, easy, enjoyable story.
Well written and well read. Great characters, funny in spots. Great insight into Italian Grid Iron. Good concept. Not the most original but quite fun.
