Jodi B. (jodibraida) reviewed on 2/9/2007 + 14 more book reviews

As an avid reader of Grisham, I sought out this book as the last one left that I had not read. It was not the typical legal thriller that he usually writes, but it was brilliant none the less! The pace was a little slower. A Painted House is told through the eyes of 7 year of Luke Chandler who lives with his grandparents and parents on a cotton farm in Missouri. Throughout the book he struggles with everything from povertysexreligionfamilylovecommitmentprejudiceand yes (true to Grisham style) Murder! A great book all the way around.
