Review of 'The Rainmaker'
The Rainmaker by John Grishom
Told from the viewpoint of a young law student, Rudy Baylor, who, at the beginning of the novel, is just about to graduate and take his bar exam. A series of misadventures befall the young man but hope is sparked with a charity visit to a retirement village where he comes across two cases that are with him for the rest of the novel: One of a woman who wants to revise her rather substantial will to cut out her children and the other of an insurance company that refuses to pay out for a dying child. This is an interesting novel with many turns and twists making it very interesting though the ending is not much in doubt, what happens around those events is not as clear. Another great Grishom though perhaps not as much of a page-turner as The Firm or The Pelican Brief.
