John Grisham...my boy

My boy John Grisham happens to be a fiction writer, my b..... I don't read a lot of non-fiction and he is definitely my favorite fiction writer. My buddy John, or J-Work as i like to call him, is able to put together wonderful stories that allow me to escape to thrill or to books of another genre he writes of, football. As a football fan, I'm intrigued of his book, Bleachers, which displays the different aspects of high school football and how towns come together for high school football. This book, even though it was about sports, was able to keep me on the edge of the seat as the main character came back to this town to reminisce with people of the town and re-meet people he would rather not.
What I really love about my friend John, is that he is so knowledgeable about his topics. For instance, he was a quarterback for his high school football team in Mississippi and understands what really went on and the love everyone had for the team, let alone the quarterback. He also understands crime and law which he frequently wrote about. Before writing, he was a successful lawyer and politician and this enables him to be truthful and full of information to enhance his writing. John will always be a friend of mine, and I love to watch movies that were adapted from some of his great books.
