Playing for Pizza

Title: Playing For Pizza

Author: John Grisham

Summary: After the worst game in his life 3rd string quarterback Rick Dockery finds him the laughing stock of the NFL. No team wants him but he isn’t giving up. His agent finds him a team that wants him as their star quarterback but, its in Italy. Rick doesn’t speak a word of Italian and is faced with culture shock and has to learn how to play with a bunch of Italians, just until he can find another team that wants him.

Recommendation: I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone especially football fans. It made me ponder all the times I’ve booed a quarterback for losing a game. John Grisham does a great job putting the reader in a quarterback’s shoes.
