jrmama42 's review for:
A Painted House
by John Grisham
I listened to the audio version of this book while working in the kitchen, and found it very enjoyable. The narrator's voice was soothing and seemed true to the characters. The story of a young boy growing up on a cotton farm in Arkansas, while dreaming of a career as a professional baseball player, seemed very plausible. Although I'm not a huge baseball fan, I still have an autographed photo of Stan Musial that my uncle gave me when I was a kid, and the references to Musial and the Cardinals took me back to my childhood. Grisham's writing is very evocative of place and time, and this was no exception. I really enjoyed the story, and the narration, and I think it would appeal to a wide range of readers.
