Summary: AN INTRIGUING COURT ROOM DRAMA WITH TWIST AND TURNS APLENTY
Review: The Rainmaker has to be one of the best books I have read in recent times. The plot is a very simple and the characters are very believeable. The court room dramas are superb and there are enough twists and turns to surprise the reader to such an extent you will never have witnessed before. A very readable, engrossing and humourous book which I recommend to every one. The Rainmaker is a book quite uncharacteristic of Grisham which is a pleasant surprise. Rudy Baylor is one of the most likeable characters in recent fiction and you feel inclined to hate the Great Benefit insurance company for what it did. The story can also be thoroughly moving and the story flows quickly without a single dull moment. The ending is a tad nondescript, the only flaw I could find with the book.

A TOP READ!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ABSOLUTELY PAGE-TURNING!
Review: I have read the Pelican Breif from Grisham, and this one tops it! I couldn't keep the book away from me for more than 2 minutes! The 598 page book kept me flipping and flipping as Rudy life goes on! He goes through some horrible times...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF THE BEST
Review: I'm going to have to agree with most other people. I couldn't put this book away. I was actually sad when I finished because I wanted this book to go on forever. John Grisham is truly the best.

Summary: The Rainmaker is truely an awesome book!
Review: Title: The Rainmaker Author: John Grisham #of pages: 598 Publisher: Dell Publishing Inc. Price: $7.99(paper) Reviewed By: Katie Gordon

The Rainmaker is an awesome book, of course written by an excellent author. Although I have not read many of John Grisham's novels, I belive that he really knows how to capture a readers interest. He is very creative at writing books about lawyers and lawsuits. To me when I first picked up this book, I thought it would be very dull and boring because it delt with lawsuits. I came to find out that it was very powerful and entertaining. The book is based on a young man's life named Rudy Baylor. He had just gotten out of law school and was trying to make his way in being a lawyer. What makes this story so great is that Rudy isn't just a typical lawyer that want's money. He actually is interested in his cases and takes them to the fullest. One case could even change his life forever. Will it? Read this book I am sure you will figure it out, along with many triumphs and hard times Rudy goes through.

I would difinitely recommand this book to anyone that loves lawsuits from the ages of 15 and above. I would also recommand this book to anyone that doesn't like lawsuits because it will take you on an adventure you have never been before. It will definitely get your attention and you will always have a hard time putting it down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I thought this book was fantastic.
Review: This was my first John Grisham book, and the same day I finished it, I went out and bought all of his others! Being "legal illiterate" I was a little hestitant as to whether I would be able to understand all the technical terms, but I found this book exceptionally well writen and easy to read. There were several days where I just couldn't put it down! I can hardly wait to read his others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent
Review: For me, this is the one of Grisham's best novel, after his classic "The firm". read it twice and didn't find one sigle page boring.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Couldn't put it down
Review: I've read all the Grisham's, and think this man is amazing. I stayed up all night last night re-reading this book...for the 3rd time. It's one of his best. I work in the medical/insurance field, and know that Grisham really did his homework. Bravo!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Thumbs up but disappointing ending.
Review: I'm 14 years old and read "The Rainmaker" for a class assignment. It was my first, I guess you could say, "grown-up novel" and I loved it. But I didn't like the ending. I mean, Rudy just finally gets what he ever wanted in life and then leaves it all behind for nothing. He probably doesn't even know where he's headed! And readers will never know, either! Other than that, way to Mr. Grisham!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Novel
Review: Even though A Time To Kill was a better story, The Rainmaker is a classic story about law. Rudy Baylor was an amazing character with a great talent for litagation. Keep writing things like this Mr.Grisham and you'll have your self a #1 fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This fast paced law novel includes not just law but action.
Review: If you are looking for a good novel, read this book. So far it is the best Grisham novel (I haven't read them all). It includes a fresh, new law student struggling to make it work. This book is not boring like other law novels. I seriously recomend it.
