Product Information

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - After providing what is arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL, third-string quarterback Rick Dockery becomes a national laughingstock. Cut by the Cleveland Browns, and shunned by every other team, Rick insists that his agent find a team that does need him. Against enormous odds, Rick lands a job--as the starting quarterback for the Mighty Panthers ... of Parma, Italy. The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player--any former NFL player--at their helm. And now they've got Rick, who knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) and doesn't speak a word of Italian. To say that Italy--the land of fine wines, extremely small cars, and football americano --holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement. Don't miss John Grisham's new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM, coming soon!

Avis les plus pertinents

  • This is an easy read that sucks you in before you know it.

    This is not your typical football story. Our guy looses the Superbowl at the last minute and sinks to the lowest possible rank in the NFL. John Grisham got the idea for this book while on vacation in Italy. Being the great writer that he is, Grisham weaves a tale of utter failure and ultimate redemption. The scene is set in Italy and gives insight to living in Parma and other towns in the Italian Football League. There is little money for American football with soccer being the country's craze. Sometimes the guys just play for the pizza. To say that the players are underpaid is an understatement. There are moments of suspense, failure and success. The book will make you hungry and want to visit these great local restaurants, even if they are fictional. This is not a cutting edge ...

  • Very different approach to a classic sports plot

    Rick Dockery had a very successful college football career and since then has bounced around in the NFL. Generally relegated to the third string or emergency quarterback, he has a powerful arm but is inconsistent. He is playing for the Cleveland Browns, and they are in the AFC Championship against the Denver Broncos. When the first and second-string quarterbacks are both knocked out of action, Rick enters the game in the final minutes and with the Browns having a 17-point lead. Rick then proceeds to have what is arguably the worst few minutes of any quarterback in NFL history and the Broncos win the game. The backlash is immediate and vicious, even though Rick ended up in the hospital after the game. There was so much anger that his life was threatened, and he needed a police guard ...

  • Playing for Pizza by John Grisham

    A great story about a Pro athelete who's damaged his career . He's offered a spot on the Italian team, however the salary is far from the excessive U.S. sports salaries and the fun begins. The cultural differences shape the sport, once tainted with money& accesses into the simple love for "PLaying". His new team players will play for the pizza he finds. A traditon of eating after the game, these new players have all the heart that's been lost along the way. Excellent little story that I bought 3 copies for teen as well as adult reading. No language or sex scenes here, but watching a ruined player do his best for the right reasons,as he negotiates the "City" in Italy is pretty funny. Can't go wrong with Grisham, face it.

  • Not your average "Grisham"

    i live on murder mysteries, political intrigue, espionage, etc. a friend recommended this book to me and said it's not like any of that. i told him "i dunno, all the GRISHAM books are lawyer books and i'm not really interested." he said it's nothing like that, just read it. i LOVED this book. my friends and i are all "foodies" (avid appreciators of good food and its preparation) and once this book started getting into the "italian eating experience," i was totally hooked. i finished it in record time (i'm usually a notoriously slow reader, but i was done in a week) and gave it to my wife. she, not being a sports fan (or a lawyer fan), hesitated at first. however she ADORED this. it's convinced us that we NEED to go to italy some time in the near future, particularly parma ...
