Summary: Don't see the movie
Review: Not thatthe movie wan't good, but after reading the book it does not hold a candel! The book was amazing and emotional! I felt that I was right along side Rudy and there were so many things going on in his life that it was shockingly similar to the way we all actually live! The problem with the movie is that it was too short. They didn't have time to touch onthe major issues of the book, and charecters that were pertinant to the book were taken out of the movie. If you are interested in being emotionally involved in a book, read this, but please.... don't see the movie!

Summary: Awesomeness
Review: okay, I am 16 years old and read The Rainmaker some time ago, but now I'm using it for a class assignment (400pt research paper) and I'll have to say, this is the first book where I stayed up till 3AM in the morning just to finish it, when I had school the next day. I mean, it is truly awesome! Grisham makes boring things sound so interesting and cool. Although I didn't like the ending, actually his other books have kinda sloppy endings too but other than that, I would recommend this book to everybody out there!

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!!!

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...

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.

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.

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!!!

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!
