A review by shanviolinlove
Bleachers by John Grisham
2.0
I was not sure, at first, if I could get into a book about football. Based on how comparatively short it was (at least from the other novels I completed over break), I figured, OK. I can get through this.
Not the greatest work by Grisham, not by far, but it is a very intriguing work. I like how he captured the nostalgia of "glory days" and could recognize a lot of my own community members in the men on the bleachers, regaling their old sports stories, remembering every ridiculous detail. The bleachers are significant; a very important event in Coach Rake's life happened here. People loved him here, people hated him here, but everyone remembered him here.
Cameron reminds me of girls I know, practical girls, girls who can pick themselves up from any damage. Shocking how it takes ten years to recover from heartbreak. And I love Nat; he's a sweetie.
