"Summoned" to read


I have been wanting to blog on this book since the time Mitr booky tagged me. I have been quite busy for the past few weeks, at the home front and at office. Finally today I wanted to get this done, as this felt like a 'nagging unfinished task' and you know according to Dr. Roizen (famous RealAge book guy), nagging unfinished tasks (NUTs) cause more stress, than other general everyday stress. This particular Grisham's book made an interesting read.
In "The Summons" we take a thrilling ride with Ray who tries to unravel his father's secret. Ray's choice between ethics and greed, the pain and burden that a secret causes can be easily identified with. The fast-paced read and unexpected ends are what makes Grisham's novel a par above other thrillers.
Now to the Booky tag rules...Page 123, fifth sentence and onwards reads...
"He's rumored to have a half a million bucks in cash, and she's after it. Got the ole boy wearing golf shirts and eating at the country club. He told his buddies he takes Viagra every day"
Probably there will be more hits to my blog, due to a particular word in the sentence above ;-)

I like to tag Sachita as she is yet to do the Booky Tag...lazy girl!! Get to it :-)
Sorry Mitr, will try to find four other people to Booky tag soon!!
