i have just finished this book by john grisham and it is quite entertaining, especially to someone like me — you know, a BUM.
so what’s it all about? it’s about a hubby and wifey that decided to spend christmas in a carribean cruise where the beaches and the bikinis prevails. the hubby thought that they should spend the money on themselves, rather than on the christmassy thingies that would only last.. i don’t know… hmm… not that long? and to top that, their only daughter is out in the peruvian mountains where there is no electricity,phone, calendar… in other words, no civilization yet and she’d be gone for a year.
and with those, they decided to skip christmas. there are a lot of comedic events in the story as they skip the christmas this year. grisham is definitely a good boxer and knows exactyly where and when to throw the punch to make the enemy feel the jolt. i just can’t help but laugh. yeah i am a shallow person but he definitely knows how to make me laugh. the witty punchline and the synchronic details just jive together.
i was just wandering why did he chose peru? i am also wandering that mr. luther kranks ( the hubby) is not a litigation lawyer… hehe… i don’t know… i was just expecting him to be a litigation lawyer since it is grisham. well… he’s not. he’s a tax accountant. now, i might have talked nonsense… so i better drop it here. i am now starting to read a new book, the life of pi. will tell the gist soon after i read it. =)
