I read it (Bleachers by John Grisham) & thought it was a nice, short, simple read. Not complicated & of course, not a Grisham legal novel. If you are from a small town that worships high school athletics, you will really enjoy it. Guys will relate to it more, though...my dad loved it b/c he said he had a coach who had a strong effect on his life, like the one in the book.... It isn't bound for greatness, though & leaves alot of questions unanswered, but like I said, if you have time, read it. It took me 2 days. Don't buy it-get it at the library.
Reading "Broken Music" by Sting. Man that guy knows how to use words...I love him even more now. I just got my package from Literary Guild, so I have "Angels & Demons," "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," "The Lovely Bones," "Out to Canaan," "The Last Girls," and the 3 "Shopaholic" books waiting...just cant' decide which one to read first, so I'll probably start 2 of them...
