The Broker by John Grisham

Joel Backman was sentenced to 20 years of jail for the breaching of national security. Only 4 years later, he was pardoned by the outgoing President of America, and send to a new country with a new name and identity. The reason of his pardon was unknown to him, but it is clear that there are people out there who wants to kill him. To survive, he needs to learn the new language and culture, and hide under the radar as far as possible. The identity of his killer is not only of interest to him, but also the CIA, who had been watching him since he left the prison.

A very exciting book. Quite different from his other books as the story has less courtroom drama, but more on spies and espionage. The dialogues are interesting and engaging, and Grisham gave a lively description to the various cities. Very good.

Seated at my humble desk,
Observing the thin cold air.

Beginning to feel fatigue,
Oh my god, it's so early.
Reaching out for my note pad,

How to develop great patience

If the first thing you do every morning at 6am is to wipe your dog's pee all over your living room, you will have got the best training in the world for patience. Trust me on that.

The Runaway Jury

A cigaratte company is facing yet another lawsuit against them, with the lawyers from the plaintiff side determined to make them pay this time. The stakes were high, a defeat would see the company losing hundreds of millions in compensation, not to mention the disastrous effect it would have on the tobacco industry. To secure a favourable verdict, the defence were willing to do whatever it takes, or whatever it costs for that matter. What is unknown to both side, is that someone had already plotted to make use of the trial for a personal revenge, and to make a huge fortune out of it.

The story is good, too bad I need to rush through it so that I can return the book to the library in time. Very interesting topic, enjoyed the ending. I remembered listening to a person working for a tobacco company, and he defended his stand, saying they are just offering another choice. If I had read this book earlier, I would have know how to answer him. haha

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

The Lake House

The Lake House was a remake of the korean movie "il Mare". The story is about a man, Alex, and a woman, Kate, who had lived in the same lake house, but two years apart. By chance, they realised that using the lake house's mailbox, they can actually communicate with each other through letters. Hence a romantic story about 2 persons who lived at different times begins.

I quite like the show as it is light, simple, funny and has two good-looking leads. I'm glad I did not watched the korean version 'cos I'll probably view The Lake house with a biased mind. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are so natural and eased into their characters effortlessly. Though I predicted the "climax" correctly, the show still managed to excite me a little at that part.

Stories to do with the concept of time and changing of history always raise a lot of questions, but I think it is best to forget about such details and enjoy the great chemistry between the two leads and the oh-so romantic sceneries. Damn the house by the lake is beautiful!

The Last Juror

It was in the early 1970s, a young man named Willie Traynor had just bought over a newspaper company in a small town. The company was on the verge of closing down, but Traynor decide to give it a new life. It was at this time that a gruesome murder had happened in the town. A young widow was raped and killed, and everyone was demanding a death penalty for the murderer. Being the owner of a newspaper, Traynor got heavily involved in the reporting of the trial, making a lot of friends and enemies in the process.

Over the next nine years, the case was slowly forgotten by the public. Traynor’s newspaper got bigger and better; life seems to reach a stand still in the town. And then the jurors for the trial nine years ago were killed one by one…

The back of the book gave a very exciting summary, and I thought the story was about the serial killer. The story began with a bang, then it starts to slow down, and down, and down…. Before I knew it, the story seems to take on another direction. By the time I finished the book, I still do not know what the focus of the story is. Is it about the serial killer, the court drama, the Traynor’s success story, or the friend who Traynor visits every Thursday (reminds me of Tuesday with Morrie)? Was kinda disappointed, especially after the high that I’d got from reading “The King of Torts”.
