This was a disappointing change of pace for Grisham. Unlike his usual fast moving plots filled with tension and intrigue, Camino Island plodded along to a predictable ending. The story line involves the conspiratorial theft of a treasured F. Scott Fitzgerald manuscript, a subject matter that just plain failed to build suspense to all but the most fanatical bibliophile.

Casino Island is one of a handful of John Grishman's books that don't involve lawyers, such as Skipping Christmas and Playing for Pizza. I had just finished reading Rooster Bar and was a bit disappointed in it, but decided to read Camino Island anyway. I'm glad I did! There's a cast of interesting characters, a crime, but no lawyers, and a great story idea. The book was well written, leaving til the end the who-done-it and will they get caught or not. I highly recommend this book. You won't want to put it down and when it ends, you'll want to know what happens next in the lives of the characters.

I have been a John Grisham fan for years. I liked this book better than his second in this series Camino Winds but not one of my favorites. Was a quick read however.

Slow and boring. Grisham needs to stick to his exciting legal thrillers.

Not your typical Grisham story, but a good page turner nonetheless. Some interesting behind the scenes, if you will, into the life of a writer. I'm interested in reading the sequel now.

I read this book faster than any other John Grisham book--and I've read them all--and it's certainly one of his best!!!

A different story than the usual Grisham tales - hardly a lawyer in sight! As always an easy read with an intricate story line and lots of interesting characters. And I learned lots about rare books, that makes you want to reevaluate your library!
