 if you're expecting a great legal thriller, pick up an earlier Grisham novel. If you want a great political thriller, there are wonderful ones by Snow, Drury and Patterson. But if you will be satisfied with a workmanlike spy-cum-politics novel, with some first-rate cloak and dagger intrigue, an uplifting vignette of father-son redemption and a poignant pastiche of unrequited love, then "The Broker" is the book for you.  To make a weak plot even weaker, Beckman is utterly unsympathetic.  I had a very good time with The Broker, found Backman believable and charming and interesting, got a few laughs and felt my pulse thumping as the climax approached. But there's a rather hasty aspect to the book: too many short paragraphs, too many unnecessary exclamation points, a rushed and contrived ending. Zippy but uneventful, the book tastes like something Robert Ludlum left sitting on his stove when he died. Readers looking for a non-stop thrill ride won't find it in The Broker. For those ready to relax and settle into an almost sensuous pace, The Broker is benissimo. Contenido enAparece abreviada enDistinciones
