The book was a good read but not as good as most of Grisham's work. The subject is a little out of character for Grisham but he wrote the Painted House that was also out of character and I really enjoyed. The first part of the book is exciting and gets you pulled into the story right from the start. Then the story begins to drag a bit with a less interesting story. I'm not a person to sit down and read a story as fast as I can. I like to read, think and absorb slowly but also enjoy a book that pulls at me. This was interesting but just not as compelling as I like.

I am a fan of John Grisham and have read literally everything he has written. I have always enjoyed his novels -- until now. This one is a loser. The beginning is disjointed, and confusing, with a very uneven pace. His character development is awkward and unlikely. I'm looking forward to his next book, hoping he will redeem himself.

To start, John Grisham is being versatile here. He's writing about something outside the legal thriller genre. Also, it's dealing with book dealing. But the characters are black and grey and things are low beat. Not for every one of his fans but only for the diehard ones.

Very easy reading, not a convoluted plot with too many characters and subplots; rather entertaining throughout with a charming, pleasant & unexpected ending set right down the street. As always, makes you want another Grisham book - now!

I am a very avid reader. I like hardcover books and I enjoyed this Camino Island book. However, when asked above if it is content compelling I would have to answer "just sort of". It went along nicely with content and humor, however, I think there were too many individual plots that John Grisham tried to tie together in the end. The sequel is Camino Winds. It does continue to answer some of the readers questions and thoughts. It is a great read for a rainy day.
