The Rainmaker (Penguin Readers: Level 5) (Mi-Vox Pre-loaded Audio Player)

by John Grisham

Rudy Baylor is a newly qualified lawyer: he has one case, and one case alone, to save himself from his mounting debts. His case is against a giant insurance company which could have saved a young man's life, but instead refused to pay the claim until it was too late. The settlement could be worth millions of dollars, but there is one problem: Rudy has never argued a case in court before, and he's up against the most expensive lawyers that money can buy.

Reviews

[zooloo1983]

I would have given this book 4 stars if it had not been for the ending and it all felt a bit rushed and idealistic.
The story of David and Goliath with Rudy vs great benefit was great and the drama in the courtroom were intense and outcome was just what you wanted, and the destruction at the end is was fitting.
The side story was just a distraction and wrapped up a little too neatly, shame to think there's no more of deck.
overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book. bring on that next grisham novel!!
