The Rainmaker

John Grisham

3.72 AVERAGE


I read it for something to do. I've never been able to come up with much enthusiasm for Grisham's books.
adventurous fast-paced

Started a bit slow, picked up speed about halfway through. Was a decent read, but not one of his best.
challenging dark inspiring sad tense fast-paced

John Grisham knows how to write a page turner and this was another great story of his. However, the ending was cliché and disappointing…
