3 dari 5 bintang!
Asli aku gak menyangka ini karya John Grisham yang paling "BERBEDA" dari karya beliau lainnya. Aku merasa gak dapat sama sekali misterinya malah lebih kerasa kayak membaca buku historical fiction astaga.. Intinya buku ini menceritakan kisah Keluarga Luke yang hidup berdampingan dengan orang-orang Meksiko yang dibayar untuk bekerja di Ladang keluarga Luke. Akan tetapi begitu ada konflik yang berbenturan antara empunya tanah dan penggarap tanah
Terimakasih Marissa untuk peminjaman bukunya!

Not a typical Grisham book, nothing to do with the legal system. I enjoyed the old country setting.
Very different from every other book that I have read by Grisham, enjoyed it though, but be warned if you only like the legal novels he usually does, this is quite a departure!

I found this book in a shelf labled "Half Price Mysteries".
Most of the mysteries were solved a page or two after they were introduced.
The main character was supposed to be overburdened with secrets, but he blabbed them to his parents pretty quickly each time.
I want my 350 pages back.

We've had this book for several years, and although Tim had read it, I had not. I'm afraid we have several more Grisham books that I want to read, but haven't "gotten around to it" yet. :) I picked this one for the "What's in a Name Challenge" this year, so it would help spur me along to read more of his books.
This was, obviously, not your typical Grisham book. This is more of a coming of age book about a 7 year old boy, growing up on an Arkansas cotton farm in the 50's. It was a good story, but I had two issues with it - it started out slow for me and didn't end the way I would have liked! Having said that, I did like it though... I just didn't love it. It did pick up about 1/3 of the way in for me, so that helped!

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I was going to. It was a slower paced book, very character driven and immersive. I loved the glimpse the book offered into this time period and place. I learned a lot and felt as if I was there.
The one thing was the main character was a seven year old boy. For most of the book, it felt authentic but there were moments when he felt older.
