The Rainmaker, John Grisham | 434 pages

The classic underdog plot, this time with a baby lawyer going up against The Big Bad Insurance Company.

Rudy just can't catch a break. Do this many bad things really happen to people one after another? All the way to the last page, one hit after another. Deck and the thugs add interest at least. I don't buy Rudy's relationship with Kelly... That's a wildly unhealthy foundation for a relationship if I've ever heard of one.

I did read it through and there were some well written scenes; I can see why people like Grisham's writing. It's just not for me.
