I really didn't know if I would like this book as it's been a long time since I'd read a John Grisham novel. I was not disappointed. It starts out a little slow but soon engulfs you in all the intriqueing details of life as a cotton farmer in Arkansas back in the 50's. I loved hearing things from the perspective of a 7 year old, albeit a very wise 7 year old! The book is a comfortable read with lots of laughs as well as heartache and pain. Just a good overall story!
