John Grisham
Özet
'A master of plotting and pacing' - New York Times
'With every new book I appreciate John Grisham a little more, for his compassion for the underdog, and his willingness to strike out in new directions' - Entertainment Weekly
ONE MAN. ONE HOPE. ONCE CHANCE TO BECOME A LEGEND.
ONE MAN
Seventeen-year-old Samuel Sooleyman comes from a village in South Sudan, a war-torn country where one third of the population is a refugee. His great love is basketball: his prodigious leap and lightning speed make him an exceptional player. And it may also bring him his big chance: he has been noticed by a coach taking a youth team to the United States.
ONE HOPE
If he gets through the tournament, Samuel's life will change beyond recognition. But it's the longest of long shots. His talent is raw and uncoached. There are hundreds of better-known players ahead of him. And he must leave his family behind, at least at the beginning.
ONE CHANCE
As American success beckons, devastating news reaches Samuel from home. Caught between his dream and the nightmare unfolding thousands of miles away, 'Sooley', as he's nicknamed by his classmates, must make hard choices about his future. This quiet, dedicated boy must do what no other player has achieved in the history of his chosen game: become a legend in twelve short months.
Global bestseller John Grisham takes you to a different kind of court in this gripping and incredibly moving novel that showcases his storytelling powers in an entirely new light.
'Grisham's books are smart, imaginative, and funny, populated by complex interesting people' - The Washington Post
'A superb, instinctive storyteller' - The Times

Eleştirmen yorumları
Read it, you'll want to cry too
The joy of a Grisham novel is turning the pages as the plot propels you forward . . . Suffice it to say SOOLEY follows the familiar Grisham playbook - short chapters, plenty of foreshadowing, and a rapid-fire prose that's easy to read and hard to put down
Disappointing.

Brilliant

It was gripping from beginning to end. As the last chapters approached I hated the direction the tale had taken and was, frankly, extremely annoyed that Grisham had ruined such a wonderful concept.
Then those chapters dropped into place and the end of the book showed exactly why the author had taken the story in that direction. Damn you, Grisham, you made me cry, me, a 78-year-old science fiction author in real tears over a fictitious character and the country he had come from.
I know how difficult it is to get your readers to show real emotion, and so I appreciate your skill. It's something I have done in a couple of my own novels and it is not an easy task.
It doesn't matter whether or not you like basketball, I guarantee you will love, Sooley, Sooley, Sooley, Sooley!
You made me cry!
