The Racketeer by John Grisham was very good. I was beginning to get lost in the mess of the twists, but in a good way. I wanted to feel like the main character of the novel was a hero, and I didn't quite get that satisfaction at the end of the novel, however, I was satisfied. The pace and action was enough for me to be engaged while reading, yet not so fast that I was annoyed. The brilliancy of the plans were enough to make me wonder about the author. I thought it was helpful adding at the end in the Author's Note that everything was fictional. I was beginning to become upset at the government in the back of my mind for their corruption.
The main character suffering through a horrible deal and coming out on top made this novel great for me. I didn't like the last John Grisham novel I read as I can't stand baseball (Calico Joe), so I didn't expect much from Restitution, but it was excellent! I felt like cheering for the main character in the end yet I was still horrified at his ability to be corrupted.
