michael_benavidez 's review for:
A Painted House
by John Grisham
So this is actually the first book of Grisham I've ever read. I can't do his usual legal things, I don't know why it's just something I could never get into. Not for a lack of trying.
When I came into this one I was skeptical, I was unsure of it. Read it anyways. A really great book.
It's major flaw, there really is no plot. No super climax that sums up it all, only a slight climax that ends with you wishing there was more.
The rest is good. The story flows well, the characters are magnificently sculpted. The boy is naïve, has enough to be happy about but wishes for more and gets in a bit too deep in certain things. Hell, I related pretty well with the character. I was the same way when I was younger (different time period and occupation but still).
Not really sure what else to say, as I said there is no clear plot. It moves from one point to the next with a nice enough flow.
Not for everyone, though. I loved it, personally. It isn't everyday a story like this pulls me in. But as I said, it isn't for everyone.
