The Rainmaker

Summary: Grisham Turns the Unbelievable into the Believable
Review: John Grisham's "The Rainmaker" is full of excitement and fun. This is definately one of his top two novels although it appears to be written to become a bestseller. This is as well written as A Time to Kill, but doesn't raise any issuses like A Time to Kill does. I got caught up in the book and couldn't put it down. It has excitement, corruption, action, romance--everything that is part of a page-turner and bestseller. Grisham turns the unvelivable into the believable in far--but not far-fetched storyline. I recommend this book to anyone young and old.

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: This was my first Grisham book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story was full of suspense, mystery, lesson, it may you think, romance and more. If you have never read a Grisham, this is the one you should read first.

Summary: Grisham's best, hands down!
Review: This is by far John Grisham's best work, at least of the several I've read. Great character development: Rudy Baylor and his somewhat sleazy sidekick Deck Sheffler come alive, and they're real. And this book is FUNNY! The comic relief blends effectively with the tragic core of the story, which involves the death of a young man by leukemia while his uncaring insurance company gleefully pockets the premiums. Grisham's (Rudy's) wry narrative of these events is priceless. And while the David and Goliath plot may be a bit hackneyed, it engages the reader as only Grisham can. First class!

Rating:
Summary: Completely Absorbing!
Review: Rudy Baylor's (mis)adventures in the practice of Law brings him into situations both touching and tickling as he struggles to save his clients, his honor, and himself. Grisham has done it again ... and hopefully will continue to do so for a long time.

Summary: A really funny book!!!
Review: It has been a long time since I read a book that had me laughing as much as "The Rainmaker"! (and I read a LOT of books) I loved to see the Big Boys get cut down to size and I really enjoyed how there was no way to tell what was coming next! One of Grishams BEST! (amd I have read almost all of them)
