The Rainmaker!

I just finished reading a book called the Rainmaker by John Grisham, this is significant because I don't normally finish the books I start. Refreshingly, this is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I know, it's a very old book and everyone's already discovered and forgotten Grisham a long time ago but this book really was a breath of fresh air to me. Grisham manages to keep the tension going all the way through the book and just when you think you're getting comfortable he throws in a twist. The story is about a struggling lawyer, Rudy Baylor just out of law school with no money and no job. On a trip to a retirement village he meets an old woman who informs him her son Donny Black is dying of cancer and that the insurance companyGreat Benefit is refusing to pay the claim. The book has just the right blend of lawyer drama, life and love drama. Highly recommended, if you haven't already read it grab yourself a copy I was surprised at how quickly I finished this book!
